firstly thanks for accepting me !
I’m looking for someone to build a Static model for me 1/24 scale if possible of a Thames Tugboat called the Plangent. I’ve looked for kits but have been unsuccessful. I did see pictures of a model of what I believe is a sister tug called Platoon on this site but since lost where it was before seeing who built it.
I’m not sure if it’s even possible but my Partners grandfather worked the real tug so a model would mean a lot.
Thanks in advance for any assistance

There used to be a kit of the "plaudit" or a smaller version of caldercraft "riverman"

Hi Honeymonster2004
Plagent was the only one fitted with Korts Knozels and her sister ships were Plagal, Platina and Plateau.

It was rename the Kerveros and is/was at Port Achilli, Skyros Island, Greece.

Sarik Hobbies have a 1/35 scale plan (length 790mm x 210mm).

I have seen it reported that Plagent / Kerveros was broke up in Turkey late 2018.

Can anyone recommend anyone who would be able to build this for me? I already have the plans from Sarik Hobbies.
I’m not sure how long it would take or cost .
