Hi Marky
I have the Deans 4' glass fibre hull steam picket boat, uses either electric or a Miranda Twin oscillator steam plant.
Mine is the gunboat version as against the Admirals barge, but all capital ships of the period have several picket boats so you have a wide choice. The bands on the funnel signified the boat number 2 bands, boat 2 etc.
Good luck wth the builds
Dave

Both Kits look like fun!

Good luck on your builds.
Can't wait to see, how your St Canute come out.

I recently purchased a Billings HMS Renown kit from a charity shop ,I had never thought about building a model ship before anyway I digress also with the kit were a set of plans/drawings for the St Canute ,so I started building the Renown and in parallel was cutting and building the tug from scratch ,the tug has taken over this is my first ever build and I have become addicted I will try and post some pics
