Hi Paul..glad you're feeling a little better…………haven't started the KO yet……….it's going to be my swan song………but have found a hull from Clydemodelships ( Kim) that is/was almost identical to KO and built at the same time…made at 1:48 scale…….it's a beauty of a hull, so am going to build her on that when I go for it..at the mo am building three lifeboats at the same time…. see here… http://www.modelboatmayhem.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=34379.0
and I'm almost finished them, then there's a couple more lifeboats……and then I think the King Orry.
sorry for hijacking your thread, Dave…the Assurance is a lovely tug to build….a friend made one and they are a lovely ship…there are threads on Mayhem and RCMB forums about the build….you might be interested in those………. http://www.modelboatmayhem.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=33204.0
and http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1589389&highlight=assur+class+tug
hope these help you initially.
neil.
