Seeking Instructions

[Ken NewingParticipant @kennewing85634]

I have a Constructo kit Pilot Boat Addaia 1/75 scale given to me as a present in the non-lockdown era – when I could sail my dinghy. The kit is complete except for build instructions. Have looked on youtube and its very helpful but as a beginner to such small scale woodwork I would need further information. Has anyone got anything or similar.

Stay safe

An unusual scale….1/72 is more normal (at least in plastic).

If the wood is good quality eg lime, it could carve ok, otherwise, there may be some *&^%$£"! about…

Could be time to sharpen and hone those chisels !

Good luck with the project.

Thanks Dave Cooper 6

Scale 1/75 (on the box). All wood, only plastic are the bags that the wood and fittings came in!

Stay safe

Hi Ken,

Just googled your ship kit, it looks a fine craft and pretty standard planked hull construction for a static model. I imagine the bulkhead s slot into the keel with the deck fitted, then the strip planking.

If you could get a copy of Harold Underhill's Plank on Frame Models Vol 1 you would find it most helpfull.

Good luck Regards Ray
