Hi Ian, thanks for the identification, it was my first thought too, but I thought it was a kit.
I shall have a look through my old Model Maker magazines. I have a feeling it was on the front cover.
thanks again Roy

Beware Roy, Royal Barge and Admirals Barge have different colour schemes.

Thanks Ian, I was thinking more of the working boat as I was also thinking of having sailors on board as well.

  I seem to recall that admirals could choose the colour for themselves, though dark blue was out as it was reserved for royal barges. Medium to dark greens seem to have been popular.

 The same, incidentally, applied to admirals' aircraft, fixed wing or helicopter.
