 HMCC Badger
I have recently purchased through Ebay a model which was made from a hull and plans from a Greenwich model shop, now ceased trading, called a HMCC Badger. Supposedly a Customs cutter. From its style and configuration I would guess at from round about the first half of the 1900's
Unfortunately I cannot find any information whatsoever on this boat so I am unable to verify colour schemes and operational timeframes to enable me to fit some crew figures.
I know that Deans Marine also make a smaller scale model of the exact same boat but they are also unable to give me any information regarding its history. (Not quite sure how they produced a model with so little information but there you go!)
If anyone can enlighten me on the origins and history of this boat or where I could get any further information I would very much appreciate it.
I have tried Customs and Excise, maritime museums, etc to no avail. I will attach a picture of the boat to assist.
Many thanks |
