Hello Denis

I am sorry but I missed your posting.

Welcome to our little group, we don't say much but you are certainly in the right place for advice…some of it is even good.

I am looking forward to seeing your model being built especially as its an MTB, how big will the model be when its finished and what kind of the engines will you be using.

Good luck

Paul

p.s I have sent you a pm you can find it in the 'my messages' section in the blue box 'My Account' top left of the page

Hello Denis

I am really intrigued by your model as I have never come across the Bloodhound before.

44 x 12 is a decent size for a MTB model and I am looking forward to seeing some pictures.

For those like me who have never heard of the Bloodhound it was a 'one off' design used by coastal forces torpedo firing trials before the war, having a single rotating 21-in. tube fitted on her upper deck aft of her cabin.

Made by Vosper she was a 68ft Torpedo Discharge Vessel… MTDV Bloodhound
