They are beautiful ships... very pleasing to see in person...

I think I know what kit I'd like to do - Queen Mary. But here's my dilemma.... I'd like to build her as the famous "Grey Ghost" as she was during WW2. Are there any modifications I need to do to make her as The Grey Ghost? I'm assuming to simply paint her grey overall instead of her standard color similar to the Titanic. Any advice or tips will be appreciated.

To show Queen Mary in her WWII troopship fit, you will need to add an armament fit as well. But being a Cunard liner, I think she still sailed under the White Ensign in WWII, and not the Stars & Stripes.

Great info Stik, you always come up with the best links.
Black Sheep, Stik is right, she flew the Jack. Sorry my friend.
Revell makes a 1/600 SS United States. and while she never was never called upon to serve, she was built as a dual purpose troop ship encase the need arose.

Well crap! That one’s out the door...
