Hey can someone help me?

Post by Lyall »

Well i am planning on buliding a scratchbuild modal of the Halifax, and i finally found the hull plans and Frames for it, but the guy offered me a fibreglass hull scale 1/96 for $180 US (i beleive) is that a good price for a fibreglass hull of this size?

thanks for the help

Well if it is the FFH-330 at 1/96 = 55.25 inches the price seems o/k at just over �90.00 u/k, it would cost you more to scratch build one. ARH :wave_1: :wave_1: :thumbs_up_1:
Simple but effective.

Check the hull out before you buy. make certain it conforms to the drawing or you could be storing up problems for yourself!
