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 Edwardkenway, mtaylor and Baker 3 Quote Current Builds: 1870's Sternwheeler, Lula Wood Hull Screw Frigate USS Tennessee Decorative Carrack Warship Restoration, the Amelia Completed: 1880s Floating Steam Donkey Pile Driver Early Swift 1805 Model Restoration

Welcome Lee, I can't help you with reading line drawings (I still have to learn that).
