1/500 FINA Tanker Reine Fabiola (Schreiber-Bogen)
This is the Schreiber 1/500 paper model of the oil tanker Reine Fabiola. I wanted to add an oil tanker to my collection (one type of ship I haven't built yet) and this looked like a good way to do it. No information about the ship was included with the kit, but a quick internet search told me that FINA is a Belgian oil company now known as TotalFina, and Reine Fabiola means Queen Fabiola (Queen of the Belgians).
It's a fairly simple kit. If you've never built a paper model, this would be a nice one to start with - easy to build, and not the massive project some paper models can be.
