Thats good timing, ordered one of those last night and they rang this morning to ask if i also wanted the plans, said yes but did'nt know they were for styrene, never mind. Is this link any good to you, i know the frames look a similar size but it might help

hi
when you get yours, you may have same problem as me, there is a little difference in them and plans do not help as you will find out
one looks to have longer cut width to it which going by the link I think goes at rear, or as I have it in pic

Hi, yes you're right i probably will have trouble, what about the notches on the frames do they line up in the deck, just had a look at the video on their website it's hard to tell accuratley but possibly the wide one goes to the front. Very little info on the www about them

Just double-checked my partly built model and plans - the rear bulkhead is slightly higher, and the front bulkhead has a more pronounced v. Makes sense to me, because the bottom pieces are starting to twist and curve up towards the bow in the vicinity of the front bulkhead.
I received an extra transom, all 4 pieces for an extra boat stand, and extra fronts and sides for the 'radio box'. Better too many parts than too few!

Hi Mike,
I'm tagging along to see how you get on with the kit.
I built the styrene version from the free plan (which had some errors on it, which I put down to the reproduction for the magazine)
Mine's here
