I bought a Mountfleet Sealight kit at the CADMA show in Doncaster yesterday (Sunday).

A quick scout through the mayhem forum reveals odd comments but not the hoped-for build log,
most of the posts being from a few years ago. The expert on the Sealight seemed to be chingdevil
but I notice that he is no longer listed on the membership list - is he still around?

When I opened the box I found a Highlander Drawing ! - can somebody who has built this kit confirm
that there should be a 'proper' Sealight drawing  (I have emailed Mountfleet via their website). 

The instruction manual seems rather to be light on construction info and there also seems to be some
omissions from the materials list.

Does any body have any (electronic) copies of the two published build articles - one (two-parter) was
by Dave Brumstead (I think) and the second was in a recentish model boats mag - I had a copy until I
gave away a load of mags recently!.

If anybody does have copies of the articles or more info on building a Sealight I would appreciate it.

Do you or anyone else know what issue of model boats it was?  Would save time digging through my stash of porn model boat magazines

Done a scout round recentish MB covers - this is the article I had in mind.


             Model Boats Magazine July 2010

also just found another (good) article in the MB mag for March 2013 (and I've still got that one!)

Okay I know I am probably having another of my senior moments and missing the point but this article is on the Mountfleet web page under reviews.

Apologies again if I have missed the point but is this the article your after?
 
Just trying to assist in my thicko way

mikearace -

Yeah, that was the build article I had already found - perhaps I didn't make that clear!
the thing is, it is only the first part of a two parter and I couldn't find the second part!

Ah okay.  Didn't actually read the PDF when it loaded just checked it was there and couldn't see a reference to it on the site.  As I said One of my senior moments!
