Lika pilot boat

Don't know much about this kit as when I got it from eBay it needed a lot of work to be done with no plans to work off .

I found this at a car boot sale off a dealer I went the week before to ask how much he was asking he wanted £70 week after when I took the cash he only wanted £35 so I snatched his hand off.

My wife has 2 dolls houses which take up a space 9feet long 6feet high and 3 feet deep. Twice the space of 8 of my largest models, but I can take mine to shows and the sailing venues. She got jealous and got her own boats now, and between us we have 31, and now I have to takeher with me, ITS GREAT working on models together and sailing together.
Keep collecting and sailing, the Zwarte Zee looks great lucky begger.

They look great, I've built British MTB, A German S Boat, now I want to do the American & Japanese boats, do you have plans for your boat that I could buy from you?
Thanks

Alas, no.
I don't sell plans.

All my plans are free.

My plans are not really 'plans', as you might expect. They are cutting lines, which produce a set of balsa parts. These are then stuck together, following either the instructions or the build log on my web site. This is as near as I can get the the original experience of buying a Keil Kraft 'Eezebilt' balsa kit in the 1960s.

For kids, an adult can cut the parts out and the kid can assemble them. For adults they might want to print out the plans at A3 size to make a bigger boat, and replace the balsa hull skins with 1/16" ply...

For the free PT boat plans, go to http://eezebilt.tk/plans.html

You want the 'Elco PT Boat'...
