i've got 5 hulls lined up to build at the moment for remote control all of them fishing vessels.
I've got the following : Maggie M ( Model Slipway full kit ) , Norina & Edwina ( 1/50th scale Metcalf Mouldings hull/plans and material packs ) , standard pattern Steam Drifter ( think its a J.P. Wood hull at 1/32nd scale with plans ) and a 36" stern trawler hull I bought off Ebay that i'll have to draw up plans for ( tempted to make it a very large scale inshore trawler / scalloper ). As well as plans for a 55' Scottish seine netter from the 1960's , Boston Blenheim ( 1/48th scale plans for the Metcalf Mouldings hull which I may buy or re-draw the plans to a smaller scale and built from scratch ) , i've got the plans for my Grandfathers last 2 trawlers at 1/48th scale ( Forward Pride A367 a 117ft motor side trawler built in 1959 in Peterhead and still fishing out of Argentina to this day and the David John A169 an 87ft Spinningdale class sidetrawler built by the John Lewis shipyard in Aberdeen in 1969 ) and i'm actively looking for a decent set of plans for a 1918 Strath Class admirality standard steam trawler ( for building the Avondee A826 my Grandfathers 1st distant water trawler ).
Also in the pipeline i've got the kit of the Revel Khandahar side trawler ( erroniously now called the Arctic Corsair ) at 1/142 ( one of which I made as a remote control model some 6 years ago but its now sitting on the bottom of the "pond" at Mussleburgh due to sinking , didn't have enough waterproofing in the hull lol ) and the 1/200th scale stern Trawler kit of the Bodasteinur from Heller which was formerly the kit of the Roc Amadeur. Both of these will hopefully be built as small scale R/C.
Non-Fishing vessels in the pipeline are a Trumpeter 1/350 Russian Sovermenny Project 956 Destroyer , a 1/350th scale model of the Battleship King Geroge V , an Academy kit of a Type 1X-B U-Boat at 1:150 ( will be surface running only ) and a Kitech model of the Russian Udaloy class Destroyer Admiral Panteleyev which is abour 30cm long overall. All will be built for R/C.
Previous R/C models i've built are the mentioned Khandahar and the wonderfull Nichimo 1/200th scale Battleship Yamato which I had to sell once my back gave out as she was just far to heavy for me to lift when she was ballasted down to her correct waterline as well as a flirtation with R/C model aircraft as a teenager when I lost a model into the sea at the beach due to a guy passing by in his car on his CB radio which blocked out the TX to the plane......SPLASH !!! the "Joys" of the early 1980's lol.
