Model Boats  |  Dec-16
This issue includes a Full-Size Complimentary Free Plan worth £12.50 for Forward LK 57, a scale model based on the under-ten metre type of trawler. The plan is drawn by Jim Pottinger and a supporting article is included in this issue, starting on Page 10.
We also feature the second part of USNS Sioux, Alan Owens’ fantastic 1:48 scale r/c tug and Marcus Rooks returns with Part Three of his all-metal steam turbine powered HMS Dreadnought project. In addition, we have comprehensive reports from the 2016 Model Boat Convention held at Haydock Park in late-August and the Society of Model Shipwrights bi-annual show which always has some unique and well-crafted models.
We also have all the usual regular columns, including Range Finder, Flotsam & Jetsam, Boiler Room and BMPRS News, plus some interesting model mini-features submitted by our readers. I hope there is something here for all our readers and as
this is the last regular monthly issue for 2016, the designer Steve Stoner, website editor Colin Bishop, and myself, wish you all the very best for this coming Christmas 2016 and 2017.
