Sorry Martin,but it's not a Veron model. The Veron RTTL came out at just under 30"OAL,mine is 35"OAL,and having seen a Veron kit,I can tell you that the bulkheads don't match up. I have a part scan of the Vic Smeed plan,which confirms my initial statement. This boat was originally designed around a small diesel engine,which makes her rather heavy for a convertion to leccy power,which I've found out,I burned out a 550 motor,actually,I fused the motor leads and fried the windings. 😯 At the moment,she's still sitting on my shelf awaiting another motor and water cooling set-up.

I think it more likely that she's based on the old Vic Smeed plan that appeared in the Christmas edition of Model Boats circa 1958.

Thanks for that Mike. My boat,although she has the twin rudders,only has the one prop,(now a 2-bladed nylon racing 40mm).She is powered by a FMA 550 motor,running on 7.2V 4300MAh matched racing packs,which give me around 35-40 mins run time,(if I don't flog it speed wise).

Sorry that It's not a fireboat,but still. Not too sure quite when this model was built,but I know that It was prior to 1976. I'm currently In the process of renovating her,but even though she's old,she sails well.
