Description

Mary McLean CN193 custom built model boat

The original Mary McLean CN193 was built around 1950 for the McArthur family and launched from the Millers of St. Monance. We began working on this model following a request from a client to build one. Since we had never built a model of this ship before, we had to conduct extensive research including obtaining photos and ship plans before we began building the model. In this case, it was a particularly difficult task to find this information as the original ship was a family owned relatively unknown vessel.

After having obtained all the necessary information, we began to build the model using the highest quality materials and strongest attention to detail. We take the greatest pride in our custom built models and ensure they are an entirely accurate replica of the original ships. The models are built by master craftsman and model makers with vast experience and skill. We have built a positive reputation in the industry for building the most beautiful model ships and this is a great example of the reason we have built this reputation.

Please feel free to contact us should you have any questions or enquiries regarding this model or a model you are thinking of having built.

After a Dutch company told me they were no longer taking orders, a Chinese company did not respond and an American one did not offer the desired finish, I ended up at Premier Ship Models in January 2024. I opted for a premium finish from 6-8 months for the build of a 1990 Hinkley Sou'wester. With nothing more than a top view and a side view and a lot of photos they got to work. 9 times I got an update with photos to assess the progress and make comments. I happily made a photo album of this. I asked for quite a few corrections, which were all carried out. The only downside was a huge underestimation of the shipping costs. But the ship was very well packed and delivered in September. The sailing ship had suffered a bit on the journey, but I was able to repair that easily, except for the downhaul - it was too simple and would break off again immediately. I left that out (it would still be nice to receive a "real life" version). The correspondence was very good, my sincere thanks to the team for the great job!

The first time I used Premier Ship Models was for a kit of the Batavia, this year. (2024). I was so happy with the service that when I was looking at getting the 'ghost ship' The Flying Dutchman, I checked around online and was extremely pleased to find they had it. Not only that but they were cheaper than other model ship kit suppliers I have used in the past. And again, on top of that it only took 8 days to get from placing the order in the UK to having FedEx deliver it on my doorstep in Western Australia. To put that into perspective, I am still awaiting delivery via Australia Post for some parts from Sydney NSW, three separate orders placed 15 days ago.... Extremely satisfied and would recommend them to anyone.

Premier Ship Models did a great job of finding the kit I was after, an Aeronaut Pilot boat. Once found, it shipped quickly, but was held up in customs. Premier reached out to me and customs, and I received the kit a few days later. Premier is now one of my go-tos for European and Asian rc ship models.

Best place for your model needs without a doubt. I had a little trouble with an order (not Premier's fault) and I couldn't have asked for better support. Whenever I needed an answer or had a question the people at Premier responded usually within 24 hrs. They never left me waiting for an answer. Best business I have seen for customer service.
