BTW folks I have been in contact with Colin Smith and he has been super helpful. As they say.... "Couldn't do it without him."

As of now, I have an idea of where to go to get the built one re-energised. Thanks. The part built one looks like a major project that I may never find time to do. I know I am only 71 but who knows how long we have.

Some Photos. The first one is the state of the build instructions.

OK will take photos and send tomorrow. Thanks

Hello, when I moved into my new house in January 2020 I found some model boats in the loft. I managed to sell two but I have kept the other two as I think the are the same. One is a large FPB - looks like a Vosper Thorneycroft - and is fully built and working albeit it is a in grubby and a bit battered state. I have tested the motor and it turns the prop but there is no transmitter. I know nothing about model boats but fancy trying to get this working with some modern RC equipment. The other one is a part built Veron Vosper Thornycroft 52" FPB. At the moment, the hull has been built mostly but not much else. The rest of the wood is in the box so I think it is all there. The problem is the build plans are decimated and half of them not there so I have no idea how to progress the build. The bit of the plans I can read says that the plastic bits can be bought separately and looking at the built FPB there is a lot of plastic including some of the superstructure. There is also no motor propeller and other hardware in the box. I am currently completely renovating and refurbishing the house so the boat building has to be put aside for the next year or so. But, I am keen to get as much information together in advance. So I need the build plans for one and knowledge of all the hardware required included transmitter for the part built one. For the built one I need to know apart from a transmitter what other hardware I would need to link up with the Futaba stuff currently inside the hull. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks☹️
