Model of the SS Steam Ship Iberia

The SS Iberia is a small cased model built by a company called GTrans Limited from Australia a decade ago. SS Iberia was an ocean liner completed in 1954 for the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company. Along with her fleetmates Himalaya, Arcadia and Chusan, Iberia mainly provided passenger service between the United Kingdom and Australasia. Beautifully presented with etched railings and extensive deck hardware, this full hull model was typical of GTrans offerings. Quite expensive when new, the company ceased production of their models after a brief period much to the detriment of serious collectors.
