Hi all
I have decide to build my first model boat so ive bought a fairy huntsman 46" fiberglass hull
Built the super structure as per instructions only to find its miles out and wont fit in the hull
I must say the instructions are useless not very good
Well for a kit costing £ 145 i would of exspected better info
Well here goes

Hi Welcome to the merry band! There are a couple of good modellers quite near to you (appledore)one of whom is on here I am sure they would give you advice should you need it.
Good Luck with your build,

%% Hi,cobraman,is the kit made by Precedent?,are talking about the fit to the hull or the superstructure to the recess in the deck? The cabin
superstructure is quite a tight fit which is a good thing,make sure that the superstructure is square to the recess that it fits in.Any more
problems post a photo to give us a better idea of what you are talking about,hope this of some help as I built one these models some years
ago,Ray. :o :o :o

Yes its a presadent i cant believe how bad this kit is
Thanks for your reply

<*< Hi,Colin,I don't think the kit is that mad,just a bit tricky for a first build, you have to spend some time trimming and sanding the parts to
Make them fit properly but this happens with most kits.Mine give good sailing for many years until it came to grief against a concrete block
on the side of the lake,all my fault one, day I will get it out of the loft and repair it,anyway don't give up give it another go,best of luck,Ray.
