In this issue

Whether your interest be warships, steam, sail, nostalgia, scale or a healthy mix of all, the December issue of Model Boats promises something of everything, not to mention a superb FREE Clyde Puffer plan, some stunning readers’ models and yet more workshop musings from the pen of Glynn Guest. Actually, we’ve gone for a bit of a Puffer theme in this issue, with an additional piece from Fraser Gray on VIC 56 – Chatham Dockyard’s operational steam coasting lighter that dates back to 1945. Elsewhere in the mag you’ll find a review of Krick’s quick-build police launch, part two of Phil Button’s S.S. Mullogh build and a Dave Wooley photo report from the Model Boat Convention at Haydock Park. But that’s not all! Ron Rees drops by to explain, in layman’s terms, how to add reverse to a forwards-only brushless ESC and we’ve a short report from the new Ellesmere Port MBC facility at Hooton Park Aerodrome. Throw in some new products, a bit of news, more magnificent waterline dioramas – each with a fascinating story to tell – plus a peek behind the scenes here at Model Boats, and you’ll be getting the idea that there’s a packed issue coming your way. Don’t miss it.
