Hey Rog! Looks like an old Mount Fleet Models cruiser tug or the Caldercraft Joffre. Not positive if Caldercraft picked up the Mount Fleet molds, but wouldn’t rule it out.
I am sure one of the gang should be able to nail the i.d. for you for sure
Gorgeous hull !!! Great find!

Good afternoon fellow modellers. Here I am asking if anyone of you can guide me in the right direction to research my latest purchase. I acquired this hull and deck at auction, it is 42 inches long(1066mm) long, with a beam of 11 inches (280 mm) it is moulded for single prop and rudder and has a beautiful finish as can be seen in the photos. The deck is glass fibre with an unusual access shape that may give a clue to the superstructure shape. There is a mark on the deck with the word “Solent” on. Also on the deck top, are scribed markings that seem to indicate the position of the bulwarks and structure.That is all the info I have, so can anyone shed any light on it for me so I can proceed further. It appealed to me as I thought I could use my imagination for the above deck, but now would like to know what it should really be. Hope you can help all suggestions considered. Thankyou
