Hi Ken welcome to the forum.
There are loads of blokes on here who have made that particular boat, so ask your questions.
You could do a search for it on the index page. :-))

thanks  i need to know where to get some scale plans for this boat you do get a scale plan with the kit but to 1/32 scale and my maths isn't that good to scale it up  i have done a search and there is lots of super well made perkasa mtb photos on here there is also so many different colour schemes different colour decks different colour greys for the hull and the waterline colours  ken

If your existing plan is not to the right scale then get a copy shop to enlarge/reduce it for you.
