36" Veron Thames Police Launch

Boat Length
36" (91.44 cm)

Thames police launches are a boat that I really like the design of, so when this one appeared for auction I bid on it. Like so many others of my 'fleet', it came with an ic motor, but will be converted to brushless electric.

That would be another lovely Classic Model Power Boat to add to the thread of the same name Rob.
Despite being one of the most popular and best selling LesRo kits, I have not seen that many of them about. ……….and I don’t have one in my LesRo collection ……..yet. Yours is a beautiful example ! Bob ▲

Another lovely Veron design by Phil Smith and reworked by his son Colin Smith, that I have also built from a VMW (Vintage Model Works) kit.
I have a build blog for this on this site:

I have the up to date version from The Vintage Model Company, manufactured with permission of ans input from the family of the original designer. All nicely laser cut. God only knows when I will get round to building it!

A nice old diesel engine - I have a soft spot for these - but they were not always the easiest to start!

Thank you Roy. I do have a scan of the original plan on my laptop, I can have that printed when I eventually get to working on this one.
They are such a nice looking boat though. Will ▲

Plans for the Police Boat are available. The only part of the construction I did not like is the space between the inner deck and the bottom of the boat is sealed. But that can be changed.
