OULTON LADY
This model was constructed and designed from a few pictures taken 35 years ago of this classic broads cruiser when on holidays on the Norfolk Broads.
I was most taken with her looks and style, she was moored in the same marina as us, and we often came across each other as we holidayed in the beautiful waterways of the Norfolk Broads, she has stuck in my mind since that time.
As there are no known plans of her that are available as far as we know, all we know is that she was a ex service launch hull from Felixstowe, so probably a seaplane tender type, sold out of service and converted in one of the boatyards on the broads in the 60s to the new owners designs. This kit represent a style and type of the craft of that era seen on the Norfolk Broads. We claim no accuracy of the model as she was built from photographs taken at that time, but the name was real and we feel that this model captures the look and style of the original craft, and even now, she has a look and style of her own.
The model.
This kit is based on a glass fibre hull with rubbing strip and moulded into the surface of the hull. The construction of the deck and main cabin is from laser cut 1 & 1.5mm Hi Impact styrene, main parts “tagged” for easy assembly
A full set of fittings in cast alloy, & resine is included in the kit, along with a propeller, prop shaft and rudder.
Cast chrome and wood vinyl panels add the extra “bling” to this attractive model plus full size plan and a comprehesive set of instructions.
