    Hi all — I recently bought a 4' wooden RC model sold as a “Vintage Billings Bay Shuttle / Fishing Boat.” I’m trying to confirm the exact Billings kit (or whether it’s a modified hull) and trace a stenciled/scratched code found inside the deck: cp7654 5529 (photo attached). The transom is named “GUSSIE — SAN FRANCISCO” (probably owner-applied). Wanted to ask: 1. Does this look like a known Billings kit (Nordkap / Mary Ann / Cux 87 or a close relative)? 2. Has anyone seen interior markings like cp7654 5529 before (shop/estate/seller inventory, RC club reg, etc.)? 3. Any parts or plan details I should check (bulkhead shapes, jig holes) to confirm the kit ID? Pics attached: full profile, transom, interior bulkhead close-up (code), and overhead of aft deck. Thanks — happy to post any additional angles or trimmed plan pages. Thank you!

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
