    What scale / what kit?

    Hello good people, I am looking to add three or four river boats / cruisers to my 00 gauge river scene. Can anyone recommend which kits or (don’t shout at me) resin models I could use and what scale kits I should be looking for.
    Thank you in advance guys and happy therapeutic modelling.

    Hornby used to do canal boats in their Skaledale range but they don’t seem to be in production at the moment, you might find them on eBay or in your local model railway shop. They are rresin models and factory decorated so minimum work required before adding to your layout.
    On the bench: Airfix 1/48 Sea King HC4, Revell 1/24 Trabant.
    Coming soon: Airfix 1/72 Phantom FGR2.
    Just finished: Airfix 1/48 Stuka & Airfix 1/72 Sea King HC4.

      There are a few here Les, but they aren’t cheap.

        Thanks for this, but I already have two canal boats. I’m looking for river boats.
