hi Simon
.Your like me,i would perfer a kit. After looking at all the thread/links (thanks Sven) I have found out there is stuff out there put it costs . Deans ferry go for £300 to £700 and those German kits are near the €1000 mark,even if i had the money thats a lot to spend on a kit. That leaves plastic kit and the only one i can think of is rare as.
On the scratch build/hull route I have not had much luck but i thing i have found some thing. If you like finnjet go to the RC link i sent i put on the forum yesterday at 7.55pm. On there ,read end to end and in thread 27 from paularai he say ,he still has the molds for finnjet and might be able to make another hull.also on there ,there a guy called pekka and from what i can work out he works for SILJA LINE ferry's .HE makes comments on he might be able to get plans for finnjet +other ferry's (Baltic only i think). It would be worth keeping this guy as a contact.
Myself I am finishing my mv Celestine ferry and X2 1:450 QE2 models. Then i think i will ask paularai if he still can make finnjet hull as she is one hell of a ferry and still unbeaten in speed +33knots .
