I would really like to get hold of a Calder Craft Peggy steam drifter kit and was hoping someone on here may have an unused one willing to sell or know of a website or model shop with one still in stock. I think they went out of production about 8 years ago in the U.K. Maybe less long ago in USA.
I only just realised this model existed and it has great personal meaning to me as my great grandfather was the skipper of the original Peggy PHD149 in Peterhead and the family have only just realised the company took the boat to base a model on! Would it be worth contacting the company do you think as this may be an interesting story for them? I have original photos of the boat so intend to build it ad close as possible to the original. The ones I have seen so far have the wrong colour scheme on the decking but are close to the original design.
Any help or advice appreciated. I may consider a fully built model but really would prefer to have a go at building myself. This would be my first model boat build. I am based in aberdeen in Scotland.
Thanks
