Secondhand Mini-ships 1/1250 Conrad 10599 Stena Trader, IMO9331177 ferry built in 2006
Stena Trader is a second-hand, mint boxed example of a 1/1250 scale, waterline, metal model of a Stena Line North Sea ferry built in Korea in 2006. The model is mounted on a wooden plinth with a clear plastic dust cover in its original wrappings and blue card box. The models were commissioned from Hansa Conroy by Stena Line to sell on board but this particular model was a private purchase from the makers in 2013 by a UK collector. See photograph.
The sister-ship to Stena Trader is Stena Traveller of 2007 build. The models are identical apart from the name transfers and the castings for both models carry the same cast number underneath. The dust covers can be removed, they are onlt attached by a thin film of a flexible glue at the ends. The model is attached to the plinth by two screws on the underside. THE DUST COVER HAS NEVER BEEN REMOVED FROM THIS MODEL.
