Today we added Rhenania models that were missing images. Many of these date back five or six years and represent some of the last remaining stock held by dealers. For example, there are examples of three Dutch destroyers including the aircraft equipped Jakhals. In addition we just received our stock of RHE 180 Albertville. She was a Belgian Compagnie Maritime Belge passenger steam ship built to run from Europe to the Congo. Albertville was lengthened in 1937 and sunk June 11, 1940 by German aircraft off Le Harve, France. This was a special model for the 20th anniversary of the Miniship Belgium meetings 1995-2015....
