Keith Black Posted July 30, 2022 #2 Posted July 30, 2022 Lee, welcome to MSW. Would you consider building a clyde puffer from a kit? Caldercraft makes a RC kit but most everyone has it on backorder with the exception of UK eBay. I did come across this site which is a downloadable kit that might work for you. https://scalescenes.com/product/t030b-clyde-puffer/ UK eBay offer https://www.ebay.com/itm/142147941869 mtaylor, Baker and Edwardkenway 3 Current Builds: Billy 1938 Homemade Sternwheeler Mosquito Fleet Mystery Sternwheeler Wood Hull Screw Frigate USS Tennessee Decorative Carrack Warship Restoration, the Amelia Completed: Sternwheeler and Barge from the Susquehanna Rivers Hard Coal Navy 1870's Sternwheeler, Lula 1880s Floating Steam Donkey Pile Driver Early Swift 1805 Model Restoration Perfection is an illusion, often chased, never caught

Welcome Lee, I can't help you with reading line drawings (I still have to learn that). However, you can read my search for plans here https://modelshipworld.com/topic/29641-source-of-plans-for-a-clyde-puffer/.
