Smit Netherland built from plans
« on: August 14, 2024, 04:28:03 pm »
Hi,

Wondering if anyone has built the smaller 22"/56cm Smit Netherland.

Sarick hobbies has the plans with the option of an ABS hull.

Thoughts on the build would be good.

Thanks,
Phil

hi Phil


I don't know if you are aware, but, there was an article in the Model Boats magazine (February 1988).  This was a free issue plan/article to build by David Metcalf.


I suppose, if you have a look on Ebay or Magazine Exchange - you may be able to pic the magazine up.   No doubt someone on this forum will be able to tell us how long the actual article ran for.


I would imagine it may have ran for 2 or 3 issues.

That's all right, Mr Ryan. My Morse is so rusty, I could be sending him dimensions on Playmate of the Month.

Many thanks for helping too Martin, and to Stumps; Fred has got me going in the right direction.


I saw this great reference info in the site's Gallery section today.


https://www.modelboatmayhem.co.uk/Gallery/Smit_Nederland/index.htm

I'm going to go with a base 22" vac-formed hull and give the plans a good crack.

Thank you all for your help, with a special mention for Fred. I've an ABS hull on order from Sarikhobbies whom have been great also. As a point of reference, Billings share these useful high-res images via their site

Please note, Billing Boats has specified the wrong colour for the deck.
Should be something close to RAL 6001 or 6002
