Hull and Cabin drawings but not deck fittings. I guess the deck fitting would have to be produced from photographs or purchased from a model suppliers or on line.

Hi Rock - did you get parts drawings as well for that price ?

Looking at your photo you should see something like "see original listing" when you click on this you can then find the sellers contact address.

If it looks right it probably is.

On another Lifeboat note, I just purchased the Model Slipways Tamar Class Lifeboat kit. It is a really good kit with a lot of scope for your skills to improve even further Mike. If you do it in time, I could copy that blog as well as the 46" Crash Tender.😁
I cannot promise to finish one project before starting another. I know, I tried.

That is possible Martin but I think my photo is the only evidence of its existence. I had to search my internet history to find the listing at all to get the picture😎.

You can still contact the seller after the sale has ended to see if they all sold or if they have anymore copies.

Hi Mike.
The ebay number was 124110169439. There were 3 sets left two hours ago but the sale has ended so I assume they were all sold.

I have just searched through my eBay purchases and found the item I purchased. They say they have 4 sets of plans remaining.
£19.50 + £3.50 post and packing.

Hi Rock - have not seen the plans so cant offer advice - been looking for the plan for quite some time. Where did you obtain your copy ?

If you post a photo of the section of the plan showing the tunnels from both viewpoints someone on this site will probably be able to help.

Hi Guys,
Have any of you built this model from scratch?
I am having a problem understanding the instructions for the design of the
tunnels at the stern end.
It says to use a balsa block and thin plywood but am stuck as to how to do this.
Have you any photos etc.that could help me.
Regards, Rockbag
