Notes on Fiberglass hulls:

(1)  These are generally finely molded hulls, molded to the main deck, with a white gelcoat finish. Builder must scratch-build the rest of the model. Many fittings (doors, fire stations, etc.) and weapons are available. Hulls are typically used as the basis for a Radio Control model.

(2)  Coast Guard Models produces a variety of USCG hulls- the line is continually growing.  If you’re looking for a hull not listed above- it may still be worth your time to check out their website.  They also have a variety of plans available for scratchbuilders.
