Yes, Tony's long memory is quite right.... :-)
The Huron/Hoshino is the same mini, just a name change. The original
Miyazaki had an asymmetrical fin/vane on the port side, which we removed
when we re-moulded it; other than this, the Miyazaki/Minerva are the
same.
Sorry, but we have never had line drawings done of the freighter range;
maybe sometime, when our artist has finished doing all the warship
stuff.... ;-)
