Title: Grey Goose Fairmile STEAM GUN BOAT
Post by: Sunray on 22 September 2010, 03:39:55 PM
Can anyone give me a heads up on a site that has photos or better still deck plan,  for the Fairmile (D ?) Grey Goose class of steam gun boat ?

Thanks Nik!

The side elevation is bang on -many thanks.   Copy this to Leon, it illustrates very well the point I made about the waterline model sides being at least 5mm too shallow in the 1/150 model we are playing with.  Also the missing is the Y gun position.

The image is obviously the post war (?) RM60 test model.  Lots of messing about with MGBs in this era. Note no guns and a funny bridge.

Now, if I could deck plan view, modelling would so much easier.

All leads appreciated.

Many thanks for this.  The Cornwall plans are detailed enough for a 1:1 scale if I have a forest of balsa !

Just as an update, the Fairmile D master model with 2x 40mm bofors and bristling with 20mm should be with Pendraken for mould making by early next month.

Thanks again to all on the  forum, who clearly want a navy and have supplied links and info.
