R.N.DARK CLASS

Hi Doug,
Will only have three! Bigger fleet than many Navies though.
Have not decided the specific vessel yet, am attracted by the DARK Scout as like the smooth aluminium hull. The pictures are helpfull, am still looking for the diameter though.
Toying with a blog but much of it will follow the earlier Brave Borderer project.
Early days, still finishing my RAF RTTL project.

No, am using a GF hull from MTBHULLS as the base and scratch from there on.
Had good experience with this approach on two earlier FPB type vessels. The hulls are light and robust.

Will shortly be starting the build of a model of one of these vessels.
Have searched the net trying to find the size and style of the propellors, to no avail.
Does anybody know?
Thanks
