C-2 FREIGHTER

50” x  7”                  1/96 SCALE

The U.S. Maritime Commission designed and built C-2 type cargo ships during World War II, as a much needed large capacity heavy cargo ship for the world’s maritime commerce.  The U.S. Navy acquired several of these ships during construction and converted them to fast attack cargo ships, troop transports and ammunitions ships.  To keep the vast wartime fleet supplied with every thing from beans to bombs and artillery shells, a large armada of supply ships were needed and these were welcome additions.  Some of these ships served with the U.S. and foreign navies, along with several smaller shipping lines.

HULL MOLDED IN WHITE FIBERGLASS GEL COAT.  THIS SHIP WAS THE BASIS FOR THE STERLING AMERICAN SCOUT FREIGHTER KIT THAT WAS VERY POPULAR FOR MANY DECADES.
