And all the fittings will be available soon I believe from another well known kit manufacturer.
These are the ones produced from the moulds I made from the masters used to decorate my Clyde class boat which took part in the Loch Ness sail in 2011.
neil.

yours is a stupendous model Neil, it will be interesting to see if the new version will make up anywhere near as good.

I'm not sure if Paul is still going to sell her,I think I persueded him to hold on to it,as it is unique! Even though we may have a glut of them soon,with I believe 2 makers producing them? Hope some will appreciate the sheer size and ballasted weight of the model!
