KD Perkasa Class Drawings.

Hi DenisA,

I really enjoyed driving the big Perkassa when I was offered the opportunity - it was a real pleasure.

It would be good to see some photos of yours when it is finished as it really is a Classic Model Power Boat.

These drawings are over 6ft long Will (!), but the boat is 50 1/2" overall so it is probably the same 1/24 scale as yours.

I am trimming away the 'selvage edges" so reduce the size and weight for posting it to EdW without loosing any of the actual drawings size.

I still have my 49 1/2" Perkasa, that I built with my Dad in the 80s. I sold it in the 90's, but had the the chance to buy it back again in the 2000s.
I had since fallen out of love with the boat again, and did consider letting it go, but after losing Dad last year, I don't know if I could ever part with it now ☹️

KD Perkasa.

A few years ago, I was asked to drive a large scale Perkasa model on our club lake at Southport, it was powered by a pair of brushless motors and it drove very well.

I was impressed enough to start looking for some detailed plans for these impressive craft and found an advert for a set online - but they were quite expensive.

Anyway, I decide to go for it and ordered a set, they took some time to come, but when they did finally arrive, I was very impressed by the amount of detail - and the sheer size of the two sheets of drawings.

The drawings covered:-

KD Perkassa . P150.

KD Handalan. P151.

KD Gempeta. P152.

KD Pendekar. P153.

After careful study, I decided that the level of detail and the time that it would take to replicate it all, would make the time spent building my scratch built TID Tug somewhat insignificant, so I never used them.

I will be passing these plans on the EdW and hope he has the stamina to take this build on.

........meanwhile, I will keep on building and restoring Classic Model Power Boats - much more suited to my skills set (or lack of them) and my need to get them finished and on the water a lot sooner!
