Hi All;

I need some help in locating a suitable hull for an upcoming project.
I plan on building a 1/35 model of a Baltic Fishing Schooner (powered) which was used by the LRDG in the Med.

I need a hull with a flat transom and a slightly upswept bow. It needs to be between 11" and 14" inches in length and 4 inches at it's widest near the middle of the boat. The depth I can deal with with using a waterline display if neccessary. Ideally I would like to have something that I can display whole though.

I know this is kinda open for translation but after trolling the internet the last two weeks I can't find anything suitable in the way of pictures.
I've added a picture of the boat I wish to model for reference below.



Thanks
Sean

hi
give these people a ring/e-mail....... they do full boat kits, but their "danny boy" drifter, looks the perfect hull for your model.... maybe they will sell you just the hull, some boat companies wil. though if you get the whole kit, they are very goo. i am building the boston typhoon at the moment, have a look on my website

hope this helps

Neil you didn't mention what people? I'm guessing you mean mountfleet models

If so the hull will be way too big as it's 1/24 scale.
