An interesting feature is the ramp at the stern, this is covered by the back gantry, this ramp is for hauling the nets up onto the main fish deck. The fish were then emptied in to the lower deck where they were filleted and transferred to the cold stores, she was a successful trawler finally being withdrawn from service in 1999 after her engine failed.

This is another new type of package for the modeller and features the following:

Well moulded and accurate GRP hull, finished in white.

Cast white metal rudder and bottom rudder skeg.

Prop shaft and tube.

A materials pack of white matt/matt H.I.P.S. (high impact polystyrene sheet) in 1.5mm, 1mm & 0.75mm, all sheets are a nominal size of 660mm x 274mm. All this material is easily glued with ordinary styrene adhesive.

6mm x 3mm x 660mm strip styrene for fixing the deck to the GRP hull and for corner reinforcement.

Large single sheet General arrangement drawing by David Metcalf, drawn full-size, this also shows details of the main winches and colour scheme, this drawing has been prepared from the original builders drawings.

Our own unique 'Construction Booklet' (this is full of useful hints and tips and illustrations on how to put together and finish one of our GRP Hull packages) this helps make the construction of the model fairly straightforward.

The above package allows for a nicely detailed model to be made, at 1:50 scale many commercial fittings are readily available, fitted with a single '545' motor her performance on the water is excellent, making her ideal for regatta work or just cruising the lake. Although more suited to a modeller with some previous experience she can be tackled by a beginner.
