Sarik hobbies do a plan for Pacific Buccaneer https://www.sarikhobbies.com/product/pacific-buccaneer/ (https://www.sarikhobbies.com/product/pacific-buccaneer/)


I built a model of Anglian Sovereign using the hull forms in the plan suitably rescaled

.. Snap, minus mechanics!

OSV/AHTS/DSV plans are easy enough found from one or 2 supplliers now.  Look to holland or germany for hulls -they are producing allot more in 1:50 1:100 scale (metric but close to imperial 1:48 etc).  Someone in Belgium has absolutely great stuff but theier service was poor and I had damaged goods for me so I won't intimate their details.
