Hi

I have no idea if the plan was ever made available else where , however the Knocker white plans I have is in a book by Glynn Guest (Who is on this Forum) and is in a book called “Small Radio Control Boats”  ISBN 1-85486-171-9  published by Nexus special Interests, I do not think it is still in print and when I originaly tried ordering from Amazon they waited 3 weeks and then said they could not get it , so I got it from one of the Seceondary sellers of Amazon , there are about 9 Basic but pretty neet plans in the book.

 

Saying that about Amazon I have just checked and it says 3 in stock so might be worth a try..see link

Hope this helps

Larry

gday larry , thank you for the repley , i really enjoy glyn guests articles , every time i read one i want to go to the shed and start cutting balsa , he really inspires me , thanks glyn, keep up the good work , although i worry when he tries to build a unstable war ship , re last war ship.

im looking for a more detailed plan of the knocker white , even some photos would help , as i would like to do a simple plan , for a beginners project , so as when they ask , which model to start with , we can say , try this . this tug has simple lines that apeal to me+its not to big to put in the boot , when we travel , at 1/32 about 730mm LOA+will carry a 70/75mm prop , due to the shape of the hull ??which will give a good turn of speed /pulling power , in a small model .

because i live in Australia , its hard to get info on UK tugs ,

 regards bill
