The Precedent Huntsman started life as the Modav Huntsman (Model Avionics) in 1972. The original 1/8 and 1/11 scale kits were band-sawn from proper resin-bonded WBP plywood, and there was a full-size plan included. Later on, when Model Avionics became Balsacraft and branched out into making model aircraft kits, the Huntsman and Perkasa kits were retooled to be die-cut from liteply. This is the same material as was used for their Hi Boy etc. When Balsacraft went bust a few years back I believe the tooling for the boats was sold to Anglian Model Centre, and as far as I know is still the same as was used by Balsacraft. I'd bet the blades are a bit blunt by now!
I would hesitate to present a boat kit in liteply for fear that the usual numpties wouldn't know how to handle the stuff, especially when it comes to the correct glue and waterproofing materials and even with explicit instructions. Sorry, guys, but even yesterday at the Doncaster show I was listening to a customer at the Model Slipway stand who'd ignored the instruction manual and asked "a bloke in our club" instead. It's folk like these who can get a product an undeserved bad reputation. Incidentally, Mr Perkasa, I wouldn't call anyone a cowboy on an open forum; there are such things as libel laws. Caveat emptor, chaps.
