Title: Joffre
Post by: sentry on June 24, 2011, 08:09:04 pm: Hi, Gents,
I have the Caldercraft 1;48 kit of the Joffre, but would like to make it as the Fulwell, or is it the fullwell, can anyone tell me the differences between these two boats thank you for any help you may give.
regards, Sentry.

This might help but I had to divert my eyes when I copied the web address to avoid being forever tainted.
