Can anyone tell me if you can still but the vac form hull that was covered in Model boat's magazine years ago have been told you can still buy it but as yet never seen or come across it it likes a lovely tug to make.

Hi Sentry,
Glad you liked the mags and that you are going to build the Plaudit from them, It looks as if it will be a nice little model  so hope you will put up pictures of your build , if not only to inspire me to get on with some building as well..  :embarrassed:

I am building the Plashy, the Plaudits identical sister ship, from an enlarged set of Plaudit plans.
The reason for the name change is that I saw recent pics of both ships and the Plaudit has changed too much for my liking, the Plashy is still operating under her second colour scheme.

This is the second time I have used this plan, the first one was a smaller version with a clinker hull, fun little ship that I was not happy to part with.

I look forward to seeing your build as I have never seen the vac form hull used before.
