Hi all!

I Google'd KD Perkasa as I am was looking for photos or images. This site was one of the first in the list.

I have had a 37" fibre glass hull'd model (Precedent I think) in the loft for nearly 20 years I am ashamed to say. Together with 3 tugs plus various other wood and plastic models in varying stages of completion.
I used to make models of all sorts in my youth but have not touched anything for far too long due to moving and starting a family.

Anyway I have decided to rekindle my hobbies and want to start off with restoring a MTB I inherited. It is badged as PT201 which as some of you may know is an American Higgins type 78, transferred to the RN and served in the Mediterranean.
I am not sure yet how accurate it is as I have only just started searching for info. It is an all wood hull and is at least 30 years old. It looks like radio gear has never been fitted.

Any help, guidance or tips much appreciated!

ps. My name is Terry.

Google search phrase: "model plastic moulding home"

I fly RC planes and was looking for a cheap and easy way pof making mouldings from plastic. Glow fuel can be quite pervasive as well as invasive!

Found this forum by googling 'UK model forums' (I was looking for community with other modellers in the UK, obvious, I know).

I intend to get back into modelling, with some additional input from others' advice, etc.
That's the 'why' of how I found it...

Howdy Fossil, Bitbyte, Wheels, Mike, and Sacrsja,

Sorry for the group "welcome" I would have done it individually but I stopped getting email about this thread here while back. Anyway, we are glad all of you found us and look forward to hearing and seeing more of each of ya'll.
As you can probably tell, " I aint from round' here" I am from Arkansas in The US so I kinda' "tawk" funny sometimes lol.
But i just wanted to greet ya and tell ya to jump into any conversation that you find interesting, have experience in, can give advice on, or just want to comment on.
Dont be afraid to ask for help and by all means if you can help others, please do.
Look through the various memeber galleries, i think you will find photos of anything that might interest you and be sure to post photos of your work too, we all like to see what each other is doing.

Have a good day and welcome again,

Greg aka GEEDUBBYA (thats GW, its my initials, being from arkansas, it took me 9 letters to spell 2 letters).
