Vic Smeed’s Silver Mist

Hi Colin,

Here is another one up for sale a couple of years ago at Faversham, twin screws your gonna need a bigger boat ??

She has the same windows as Vic’s design 🙂

Chris,

Use one of the engine noise devices that Richard reviewed in the last mag.

Or Huco couplings…..?

Ray,

At that asking price it must be in a really bad way.

I have a couple of 385s but that might be overkill for a small boat. The 280 size with 25mm props should be enough.

I can remember seeing the Silver Mist article in my brother’s Model Maker magazine.  I think it must have been late 50’s.  I would have been about 10. I think I liked it because the figures were the same as some toy soldiers I had.

I did think about building it a few years ago but I was probably building my bigger boats. The ones I struggle to lift now.

You have made me think about it again. So will be interested in following your build.

Perhaps once I have finished my RAF Fire Boat?
