Title: Traplet Puffer Plans wanted
Post by: Koldness on December 14, 2006, 04:26:45 am

Does anyone have a copy of plans for a small scale puffer, I have been looking everwhere for them, Traplet published them in the 90'S I believe.

thanks

Hi Kris

Traplet still publish a plan for a Puffer, the plan is MAR2562 for a 1:50 scale puffer 400mm long (15.75 inches) the boat is called Pibroch and was featured in the March 97 mag. According to the latest catalogue the 2 sheet plan costs £8.50, and is rated 2* (some previous experience desirable).
