It is now manufactured in England by PSShips / Sirmar, and this hull is the first made here.
1. There will be a limited number made 20 hulls made and no more, after that the mold will be destroyed. The hulls are available now.
2. Brass Superstructures are available now.
3. A running set is available now.
4. Plans. (I still reccomend Nick Fox in Australia. He has agreed to supply a set at 1:44 scale.)
5. Fittings will become available. Not available yet.These hulls are now in production.
Note: The mold marks that these are normal products of the manufacturing process, and they easily sand off.
Anchor and fairlead. These are available in brass. The anchors come in two
sizes. The smaller for the stern. Hawsers to follow.

Showing anodes on "A" Frames. These were made as separate anodes and coated with solder and then soldered to the "A" Frames. They will be left as they are and not painted.
Rudders in place. They have received the same treatment as far as the anodes are concerned.
The next coat of paint is the Boot Top and it goes from the Anti-Foul to the Masking Tape.
