Hi all
Was given this boat a while ago, not done any model boat building b4 so this will be a good start lol.
Its 48"long by 12"wide, so i wonder if someone could help me as to what scale its in, (i think it was 1:24 but i'm not sure).

I am positive that it is modeled on a vosper perkasa mtb.
found some pictures of a model one

i've got a long way to go if i try to do as good, which i doubt i can first time trying, But i'll try for a reasonable runabout this time round.
Any  help will be great. Kind regards.
