Hi,
Many years ago a kit of a Hastings Lugger was available.

I have searched the Internet but cannot find one.

Has the place gone out of business?

Regards

[Neil]

there was a company that some years back ( forgot their name) who did a set of "minatures" including a smack, a nobbie ( morecambe bay prawner) and a hastings lugger as 3 of a series of 5 models( can't remember what the other two were) and recently I sold a model of the prawner to Rob.....(rmaddock).........are these the ones you mean, they were all about 5 - 8 inches long.

neil.

Hi Neil,

From memory it was 30 inches long and for radio control.

hirick........I'm thinking of the wrong ones then, as these were small miniatures.
sorry, don't remember the one you want.

Thank you chaps,

I cannot find the company so I shall rethink the next model to make.

I am looking at the Orion hulls to see if I can do it that way.
