Title: Forceful Admiralty Tug
Post by: nakerr on June 27, 2013, 06:26:20 AM

Long time gestating but at last I have decided to build the admiralty tug Forceful from the Model Boats plan MM1292 utilising the syrene hulll MM1292. Can anyone offer me any advice and also would the  paddlewheels from the Graupner Glasgow kit fit the above  paddle tug.
Regards,
Norrie

If memory serves that plan is to a scale of 1/48th.  I can't find out the size of "Forceful's"  wheels but given the Graupner wheels are 140mm in diameter that would make them just over 22 feet across in this scale.

The Director's wheels are 120 mm in dia. on the model Boats plan. Float a Boat has the wheels for it or you can PM me for more details.  http://www.floataboat.com.au/
