Caldercraft Cumbrae

[Jim SinclairParticipant @jimsinclair11497]

Hi

As a total novice I have just purchased a Caldercraft kit of the Clyde Pilot boat ‘Cumbrae’ I remember this boat as a boy and still live in Gourock on the Clyde where she was operational from.

Question has anyone out there built this model, and if so would be kind enough to act as a ‘buddy’ where if I get stuck I can cry help.

Thanks in advance

Jim

Hi I know the feeling!

Just started Branneran and have a problem with the decks not being sized to the hull which seems far to wide to pull in to join!

I did the original Model Boats review of this kit back in 1991. I have scans of the article which i can email to anyone interested.

   Colin – if your review refers to the Cumbrae could you please e-mail it to me as I am avaiting delivery of my model and at best can be described as an advanced beginner.

       Many thanks

Just seen this, been away on holiday. review sent. I don’t seem to still have the instructions though. maybe Jotika would send you a manual if you ask them nicely.
