Wreck of a Steam Drifter

Hi Yoshka,

It's a long shot but maybe it is worth trying the manufacturer of the 1/144 scale resin kit you have pictured, they must have had plans or at least may be happy to point you in the right direction.

This is my scratch built model of drifter LT 100. It was built from plans and photos in the book ‘From Tree To Sea’ by Frost. I have very basic tools, that is scalpel and sand paper so it obviously isn’t perfect but I’m quite pleased with it.
