[gsnmeyer]

fantastic model, what plans did you use ?

[Sunclief]

You wouldn't want to fight the british?

You could walk right over them if you wanted to.

Material I used on this schnellboot is 1/4" baltic birch plywood for the bulk heads and 1/8" by 3/8" straight grain spruce. Douglas fur would also work fine for planking.

what kind of material are the hull? wood?

This is a plank on frame hull. Once hull is completely planked, it receives fiberglass cloth on the inside and 5 coats of fiberglass resin on the outside of the hull. It also has three additional coats of fiberglass resin on the inside of the hull. thank you for your interest. If I could be of any further help, feel free to contact me.
