Well gents, I've pretty much sorted the hull, now I need some help.

I need to sort some sort of tube for the rudder, looking at pics of a snipe it looks like there is a nut on the bottom to hold the prop guard, can anyone draw me a sketch of this so I can make one up?

I also need to make a rudder, can anyone give me the dims.

Can anyone tell me what diameter the boiler should be? The one I have is very roughly 1 3/4 inch. The catalogue I have says 1 1/2 inch

And can anyone supply me with a firebox to suit, or draw round one for me so I can make one?

Thanks in advance

For my Arrow which is still in the making! Rolling Eyes ,I have used a number of extra parts from Hobbies, who make a rather nice rudder set up if you are noit making your own. That said I have found ebay a good source for brass tubing etc. Look forward to seeing some images of this project.


BTW Im sure Ian (MF) can supply some more images of his fleet!
