Come on Andy, fairs fair, we both know that there are palm trees on the edge of the golden sands of Penarth, that the Bristol Channel is a beautiful shade of azure blue, and that it is August all year round.

sjoormen,

Try an email to Brian Marten at Marten Howes and Balis from their website. he can only say no, or he may be able to sell you just the hull, worth a try.

Good idea, thanks. I will report how it goes. I asked because I think I saw clip on youtube of Seekadett that was somewhat smaller than this one, so I thought that  there maybe some plans somewhere- again that may be freelance built.
Here I found link:

Check around in Germany & Switzerland for a GRP Hull only, I've seen it there in a webshop.
If I remember around 1 meter (1:20 scale) long so smaller than the MH&B.

Cheers, Bjorn

Have had a look at the video and the bow seems a little less slanted that the MHB hull, and a tad smaller, any way I've asked the question on youtube. Posted in 2008 but the chap might pick it up, I want to know now!

Having looked again at the video the launch there is not the MHB version, the saloon has only five windows in the length the MHB has six and the MHB has a shorter boiler room, in fact there are many differences when you compare them.

Bjorn seems to have hit the nail on the head with the one he found, they look identical, and also a very nice launch.

Got two answers , sadly both negative. Still waiting answer from Marten at Marten Howes and Balis.
For now I checked three sites with your help:
http://shop.strato.de/epages/61433551.sf/de_DE/?ObjectPath=/Shops/61433551/Products/Pe0007
http://www.pepa-model.com/
and of course:

Any other ideas, are there any plans for original one, in museum maybe?

Hi Sjoorman,
I have the hull from GB Modelbau. It is not entirely the same as the one from M H & B.The proportions have been changed to fit a smaller type of steam plant like the 2 Cylinder Steam Plant (Ref: GR1940) from Graupner.  It's been sitting on the shelf for too long now, there's too many projects I'll have to finish first so if you're interested I can let you have it for a small price. I'll even throw in a CD with high resolution tiff-version-plan of the side and top view, and lots of build-pictures.

Cheerz, A!H

Just  ring Brian at MHB he will probabley sell you a hull he will also sell any fittings for one including the brass windows, but they may not be cheap but they are very nice brass fittings.

Yes I contaced MHB and they were very nice, no problems there whatsoever.
Thing is I overspent a bit this year.
Well to tell you all truth: last year I started to build tugboat and here on forum was this guy his nick is Gondolier( name of the sinner as we call it here) {-) who asked innocent question weather I have considered having live steam propulsion.
 And this idea haunts me still, and now I am buying mill so I could start my own plants that will probably not function as I imagine :embarrassed:
and so expenses are growing  little(a lot) out of proportions.
 And that's why I can't afford one of the best looking launches . Yet( ok2)
Another thing I like doing my own hulls, (no I really do). I spent lots of time and you know what that I am finally able to do hull that I want. But without proper plans I am colddead. I mean litterally useless. I tried making my own plans but,...
