Billing's Cutty Sark 1:75 Help. Newbie

Hi Derek, There is a fully detailed large set of plans, 3 sheets of, that I believe you can buy from the Cutty Sark Trust itself. I bought these a number of years ago and they are superb. Another thing worth hunting down is a book by C Nepean Longridge that was published by Model and Allied Publications that describes in depth how he built the model in the Science Museum in London. It is long out of print but may be worth tracking down via the net.

Might be a while before any reply. Seems DB hasn’t posted since 2011!
I wonder if its Derek Bell the race driver....my dad worked for him for a brief spell in the 80’s!

Hello Si! You may well be right, but some of the Billings Cutty Sark kits gather dust on a shelf for years. Maybe Derek has not got around to it yet. Who knows?
He may pick up my info. He may not, Anyway, it's there if he is off the radar for a while.
If my memory serves me right at one time you had to buy the kit and shell out again for the fittings separately from Billings.
