Gents,
Has anyone seen any basic plans of the new 47' Motor Life Boat as used by the USCG and the Canadian Coast Guard ? I've been searching the net and the manufacturer's site with no help. There is a large RC kit, perhaps an owner could furnish a set of basic plans ? Any help would be appreciated, and obviously I will bear the cost of copying and postage.
Thanks for any assistance. Semper Fi....................Bruce

Harry, OUTSTANDING !!!!!! I knew there had to be something somewhere. I've googled and researched for 2 days, but I should have known this group would have the answer. Once again, Thank You Gents, for a Great group always ready to help each other.
Rui, I've just been lurking lately, unfortunately way too much going on family wise - the plastic had to wait. But the 47' MLB looks like a Great 1/144th Scratchbuild project....we'll see ! I loved your latest diorama of the Kilo and the P-3, extremely nice.
Thanks again Guys.......Semper Fi ...................Bruce

Gunny,
Obviously there's a hint in there. Well, let me see if I can get enough of the basic drawing to accomplish what I want. If so, I most likely will join. At present, I still have the PT and Riverine to build for ! (Whew !!!!!)
But we'll have to see what happens - just love the small scale stuff !!!!
Thanks again and Semper Fi ...............Bruce

Ahoy Crew !
Thank you to all for some Great references. I've managed to get an excellent set of plans for the immortal USCG 44' MLB. My model will be scratchbuilt in 1/144th scale. Plus even joined in to the "No-guns" build.

So now I've got to get busy. The Riverine campaign is well under way, and I'm behind the power curve there. Thanks agin, guys...................Bruce
