Does the Precedent Huntsman normally come with plans? I bought one off ebay recently and there is an instruction manual but no full size plans.
I know Dave from Action Designed this kit in his younger days so would the plans from Volume 49, Issue No. 582 of Model Boats magazine or plans MM2058 from myhobbystore be a suitable alternative?

The more recent kits are die-cut lite ply and the construction is therefore totally different from (to?) the original, and there are no plans for it. However, if you're very nice to me I'll send you an AutoCAD R14 file of the original plans circa 1972. It's a bit fragmented as the scanner found every little fold in the 40 year-old paper and chopped up the lines accordingly, but it serves to give you the shape. It bears little resemblance to the much-later Swordsman design, which was based on Phil Connolly's little 16" balsa model.
