Fairey Huntsman 31

Hi my name is Nick I joined a while ago I guess pre covid, I'm starting to build a Huntsman 31, I took some plans and enlarged then 10% so up to about 48".

What I'd like to.know is should a Huntsman have a slight visabke keel, my plans show one and they show boarding as such leaving a clear keel.

However all photos I've seen craft have no visible keel showing, just both sides of thr hull meeting at the centre line..........HELP!!!!!...🙂🙂🙂

Thanks Rowen 👍
I'll be popping up now and again, when I see something that I like and find intriguing, or I know I can help with a query.
In the meantime I've discovered a 'backdoor' to the site which enables me to view posted photos in super size and resolution and without the 'Login or register ...' banner - without logging in!!😉 (Don't tell Stephen 🙊)

Since I was relieved from my moderator duties I feel like I've got my life back 😀
Suddenly there's more time to do 'other stuff'.
BTW Seems I was the only one who did NOT volunteer to become a moderator!
I was suddenly shanghaied overnight 😮

Hi Doug, Hi Chris!
Thanks for the welcome request! Well, despite English, I almost feel at home
@ Chris:
This is a 1: 8 scale / 47" model with English instructions! Now I'll use it to polish up my English too! 😁
Tuesday, August 31th, I'll pick up my Huntsman package. I am as happy as a little child! Yeah!
You will hear from me and thanks again for your tips, dear Doug!
see you then, your Mike
👍👍👍

Hi Mike and welcome.

As it's an inheritance I'm guessing it's a Precedent kit? If so what size is it, 34" (scale 1:11) or 47" (1:8)?

Have you got the build instructions as they are a fairly straightforward build?

I'm building one based on the Precedent design but scratch building it as I'm building it at a scale of 1:12 to match my other Fairey builds.

Hello everyone,
My name is Mike from Switzerland. As a pensioner, I found my old hobby again. I have a small handicap. . . my english isn`t perfect, but i hope you understand my typing! 😊
OK, Here is my request to all of you . . .
I received a complete kit of the Huntsman 31 from an inheritance and now I want to assemble it. Who has already gained experience with it? Can someone help me??
Would be very grateful to you. Would you have time for my request, maybe even photos?
Thank you in advance, best regards
Recruit Mike
