RAF.jpg (70806 bytes) An RAF air-sea rescue launch from a Deans kit.

Built and owned by George Barns

bluebell.jpg (37752 bytes) The flower class corvette HMS Bluebell, built using the original matchbox kit, detailed up with the full set of Sirmar fittings and with the decks corrected to steel with planking over the accomodation only.  Sails very well with a 385 motor and 6v, 2.6 Ahr gel cell.

Built and owned by Steve Booty

SirKay.jpg (53862 bytes) The round table class admiralty trawler/minesweeper HMS Sir Kay, built with some corrections and additional details from the Caldercraft kit.  A good kit, spoilt by being 1/2" to wide in the beam, wrong diameter of 20mm gun tub and with the diesel generator deck house to far forward.

Built and owned by Steve Booty

A Harbour Defence Motor Launch (HDML), scratch built on a Kingston Mouldings hull.  The twin drives are controlled using micro switches linked to the rudder to give independent drive from two channels.  A very effective system which has turned a 'brick' in to a 'ballet dancer'!!!

Built and owned by Peter Thomas
