missing plans
« on: December 23, 2018, 08:16:44 am »

Hi Ive owned a boat for around a year now brought as a resto project as I was looking for hobby having just retired.I am now fully hooked on the hobby never thought that there was so much to learn about in building a model boat.Now the reason for my cry for help is at a local auction a lot came up of three boat kits and a building slip thought I would have a bid on them and got them for £114 the value been somewhere around £700 I was delighted until I got them home and found all the building plans were missing, I have found one set for the billings 700 series St Canute tug on their web site but still need them for a Caldercraft 1/32 Cumbrae pilot cutter and a Revell1/72scale Flower Class Corvette Uss Saucy. Any suggestions were I could get them from would  be appreciated also which would be the best one to start with the billings with a planked hull or the caldercraft with a fibreglass hull.

With the Revell Flower Class corvette, this plastic kit manufacturer have the plans and instructions for their models available for download. On their website go to the download area and the Flower class is 00451 -

https://stage.revell.de/en/service/download-area.html

For the USS Saucy colour scheme, Scalemates have the instructions which show this. Again it will need to be downloaded.

For Flower class colour schemes, a look at - http://www.cbrnp.com/profiles/naval/Flower_Class-Corvettes.htm - will help.  The Revell USS Saucy only looked like the model for a few weeks between handover when it stopped being HMS Arabis and being refitted to conform with USN standards and requirements.

Great deal there :-))
Flower Class will get you sailing
soonest. Then Cumbrae and then time to spend on
the slow plank on frame.
If you are not bothered about something to sail, then
you can take yer pick.

I did the original Model Boat review of Cumbrae in 1992. I don't have the plans but I do have the instruction book plus scans of my review article. If you PM me your email I can scan in the instruction book and send you this togethr with the review scans which are quite detailed. The instruction book includes a parts list.

All the above goes back to when the kit was first introduced - there may have been some subsequent changes.


You can get a copy of the  P N Thomas plan of Cumbrae from Sarik Hobbies which would be useful but you need to bear in minde that the Caldercraft kit has been modified to some extent, notably by increasing the beam to make the model more stable.
