Mystery Billings boat
Hello all my nautical acquaintance's.
At last thanks to the wonders of eBay my Mystery Billings boat now has a model name, It was called the "Sea King" (photo uploaded) and appears to have been produced around the 1970's, and mine named the "Fay Irene" of the TRB MBC whatever that may be. (Enlightenment would be welcome)
After she has been refitted and painted she will be renamed the "Lady Lena" after my wife.
Thanks to Dave M for trying to Identify.
As for the billings "Kadet" I am rebuilding, I got to the stage of spraying the primer but by this time the weather had changed with winter settling In, and It Is too cold and wet the paint wont stop running, so will now have to wait until next summer before painting can resume. Then I hope to complete It and then move It on. I don't like these smaller models I find It much easier to work on models of 30" . Might try and obtain a Hooben Perkasa does anyone have any experience of this kit?
O'well 23.30 and time for bed
Cheers all
John
