Title: HSL plans or kit
Post by: canalpilot on October 16, 2013, 03:36:32 pm

Does anyone know of a company or individual with the plans or a kit of a Vosper RAF HSL of the 2000 series.

Do you mean the wartime 73ft HSL or the post-war 68ft RTTL?

The 68 foot one, specifically HSL2552.

HSL 2552 is not a Vosper, she is a 68ft British Powerboat Co Type III HSL (a "Hants & Dorset") see her here;

The plans can be bought here;

I can supply both hulls in GRP in 1/24th and 1/72nd scales.

The 68ft Vosper RTTLs took over from these boats and are similar in appearance.

The picture shows 2554 (same as 2552) and 2753, one of the later Vospers;

Sorry for the mistake, I had been told it was vosper designed.  I see you are in Gibralta, not a problem.  How much is the fibreglass hull and how do I contact you.
