Has anybody got a copy/photocopy of Model Boats magazine June 1992. I need the "Part 8" article on the Bluebird of Chelsea.
Thank You

[mike_victoriabc]

I think I have them scanned as pdf's - will look on office computer.


I have the magazine articles as well if I don't.


Perhaps send me your email address,


Mike


How far along are you with the build?

Hi,

If you don't come right, I also have that issue. Let me know and if necessary I can scan a copy.

cheers John K.

I too have it, so I am sure all will be well.

I've managed to misplace the last half of the Model Boats magazine with the build articles in them! Only scanned the first 3-4 issues.


Should have looked before I posted!


Been a few years since I started the build as well. Did find a number of photos though that Bryon Young sent me - he built a very well detailed model.

Hi Mike, I have nearly finished building a 1/16 th scale model, having to scratch build almost everything
But that is part of the enjoyment.
What scale are you building?


Regards
John

Hi John
It is me that needed the information on Bluebird. I have had the original plan (25 3/4 inchs) blown up to 36 inchs but I could not tell what scale it is.

Wiki has the dimensions of the original boat so you can easily work it out from that.

1:17.3 so 1:16 bits would work.

Thanks for the information.

Hi Robert, my boat is 27"long 7 3/4" beam. So I worked it out at that 1/16th. was nearest.
That scale will work for your boat.


Hope that helps,


John

I see this is an old thread but hope you can help. I wish to build the Bluebird and require complete build article and drawings.
Any help is appreciated.
