I was wondering if there were any good quality paddlewheel models that could be modified to create one of the Union “Tinclad” river patrol boats.
I’ve included links to images of several of these warships;

My favorites are Gunboat 53 and the Forrest Rose.
Dumas’s Creole Queen looked like it might have been a good starting point until I figured out that it is a roughly 1:50th scale kit and I need a 1:96 scale kit to integrate this model with other models I have built.
Thank you in advance.
