M B did a review of the Humbrol Eileen kit around 40 years ago. If this is the one you want I still have it and can scan it for you. Just let me know. I think it's much the same as the plan from MB, and builds into a great model. I've been thinking of building another one myself and makes a good sailing model just ripe for lots of detail.

Hi coastie

I have the build booklet for the Hellen which the ABS hull version of the Eileen.
I am also building a French version called the Julieth 4.
Same length hull, but more beam, larger hatch and the wheelhouse has a raised section in the front with skylight and two vents.
A lot better access into the hull, but it adds two pound more ballast to the boat.
Running a 3 blade brass 60mm prop, rock crawler 60 turn brush motor on a 2S (7.2 volt) Lipo battery.
Only using 50% throttle !!!!
Check out my build on this forum site.
