Title: Newbie here plus help on model ID.
Post by: fishingboat on January 22, 2011, 11:44:52 pm

Hi everybody,i am from Dorset with an interest in static model boats,i would love to build them but my eyesights not what it used to be so i am happy to have the fruits of someone elses labour.

i wonder if someone can help me with the ID of this trawler,its 75 cm long and i won it on ebay yesterday,it has the look of a Billings boat to me but i could be wrong,any comments would be appreciated as the seller did not know of its history,thanks in anticipation of a answer and i look forward to many hours of participation on the forum.cheers.Peter.

Hi there fishingboat,
Is your boat scratch built, it resembles the Nordkap 476, which was indeed a Billings boat.

Welcome aboard
