Fairey Huntress

[Mark WillerParticipant @markwiller56840]

Hi, I am looking to build a large (60 inch) Huntress complete with fuel barrels AKA James Bond

From Russia With Love. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

There are no plans or kits available for Huntress (yet…), but if you send me your E-Mail address via Private Message I can forward a copy of Fairey's original GA drawings.

Hi Dave are you planning to build the baby of the fleet ? It looks ideal for a model

Hi Dave

Good one I really meant are you having it published in the hallowed pages of Model Boats for us all to enjoy ??

Regards Ray

[Dave MilbournParticipant @davemilbourn48782]

That's the general idea, Ray, but I have a lot of other stuff to do at the moment. It's a bit like being the stage performer who has to keep all of the plates spinning on top of their canes! My best guess – PF willing – is some time in 2017. Don't forget that the cover date on the next issue is October. Where does it go?

I built a 5ft Huntsman 31 a couple of years ago, great fun to build and sail but difficult to transport and launch/recover

Here it is during construction.
