Non Technical = White plastic sheet that can be welded with solvent,cuts easy with scalpel or stanley knife. I use 1mm and 1.5mm thick.

Ada was a FREE Plan in one of the mags,probably still available.

[Len OchiltreeParticipant @lenochiltree67043]

Hi Merv,

Ada was the name I gave it.

It is Jasmin a Ricky Webbs design from Model Boat Mag October 2003 and it is a FREE plan.

[Len OchiltreeParticipant @lenochiltree67043]

Hi Merv,

I am pretty sure that Plans were not included in the articules in the mag.

A hobby Shop giving away Free magazines? in the UK?, no I didn’t think so, I see you are in NZ.

Regards,

Len.

[Mervyn NeedhamParticipant @mervynneedham82489]

I did not say that the Mags I got were from the U.K., I said I got them From my Hobby shop here in New Zealand.The Mag that has the planes of the Smit Nederland are from an  Argus specialist Publication February 1988 one pound.30shillings Model Boats, Full Size Plans for this 2_ Channel Radio Controled Tug designed by David Metcalf. Now what I want to know is are there any back Issues That have the rest of the plans Like March April & so on  1988 Kindest Regards Mervyn D.T.Needham Esq.

[Mervyn NeedhamParticipant @mervynneedham82489]
