Alas, I don't think Veron kits have been given the same re-introduction treatment that Aerokits enjoy. But I think The son of the Veron designer (Somebody Smith) does sell plans. Probably on ebay.

When i'm back on my feet I intend building another Speranza. (was that a Veron kit?) I can get the plans from Model Dockyard and Cornwall Boats etc but does anyone know if the kit is available somewhere? I have all the tools needed to cut frames etc but want to do it quickly. Awaiting reply from SLEC👍

Hi and welcome to the forum.
Yup, SLEC are good guys. They're within a pleasant car toodle from me. I have a set of Crash Tender fittings from them since they bought out the Vintage Model Boat Company.
Sea Commander is a lovely boat and all the Aerokits are good performers. I have several.
Good to see another Chris-Craft builder on here. The world needs more woody fans!
Cheers,
Martin

After a long period of over 30 years away from the hobby, I am in the middle of sort of scratch build of the old Aerokits Sea Commander. I was able to find a copy of the full-sized sheet, and am using that as the guide for cutting the frames etc. My plan is complete this with 2-channel R/C and once I have convinced myself that I can still do this stuff right, build a larger scale model of the 28’ 1969 Chris Craft Cavalier that we had in California for many years.
Just like to say that I have been very impressed by the service, and quality of the wood from SLEC; highly recommend them.
