Afternoon all,    Just received hull of the trawler Boston Fury from Kingston Mouldings and very nice it is too.   Is there anybody out there with photos of a completed model or photos of any of the other Boston  trawlers.

Many thanks,   Davie you are a mine of information.    I have just spent the last half hour clicking away at images on links and it would appear that the Typhoon or the Neptune is more like the plan supplied as the Fury appears to be a longer ship.   The first photo from the HMBG looks very similar to the plan.   Anyway its back to the shed to carry on with the build.

remember there were two Boston Fury's in the 50,s one H252 with the bridge three decks up built 1950 and GY188  1956 bridge on second deck, the early'r ship would make a lovely model ,but I think the plans available are of the GY ship
