Collected this one last week, it came from the Ron Wem collection - have a look at his site as he made loads of amazing boats. I also bought the Aquataur A600 and the mould for the Broom 30 Hull. Sadly, Ron died early this year so his family are moving on a number of his boats.
KoH is a very decent representation of 1950s Norfolk Broads Cruiser. The model was built about 25 years ago and needs some updating, the interior requires finishing. Have already replaced the motor and ESC as the motor started smoking when tested. Model is 1:12 and is 43” long.
As with the full sized boat the wheelhouse roof slides back and the windscreen folds down to get under the low bridges of the Norfolk Broads.
Here she is in her just collected state, will update as progress is made.

We took the KOH for its first sail in probably 20 years. Great fun, one small leak that is easily fixed. My dad (Peewit83) had his 1:12 Ice Cream boat, so we had 2 Norfolk Broads boats running together.
@Chris W, I’ve made contact with Vaughan Ashby, the son of Commander Ashby who owned Hearts Cruisers until 1966, have you seen the Hearts film, hopefully the link is attached below.

I remember my mother cleaning the full size boat at Hearts Cruisers, on Saturday mornings in the late 50s/early 60s.(I was to young to help).
