Hi Ben.
        Welcome aboard, there is little photographic material on the Bold class as they were trails ships and had a short service life.

                  There is nothing online of any use for building reference material just the factual data.  There may be decent photo in a
                    ships in focus book but I would have to dig em out. Have you got the plans of the model for the rebuild or are all  the
                    parts there.   
                                     some sites to go and look at..

All newcomers a very welcome here.  Anyone with an interest in model boats will be
helped if they need it.  What type  of boats/ships/submarines are you intending to
build or run.  There is a huge amount of expertise available, you just have to ask.
