My Wyeforce kit came from a fellow model builder.
He told me that he didn't think that he would get around to building it and
wanted to know if I wanted it. I thank him for the kit.
(He didn't want his name posted)
A couple of sources of the kit are:
Model Slipway Website

On
the water the performance of the Model Slipway Wyeforce model is
outstanding due to the large Kort nozzles and propellers.
Wyeforce is ideal for RC steering, and tug towing
competitions with slight modifications in construction of the
towing bollard. The kit is not difficult to build for modeler
with some building experience.

The Model
Slipway kit contains a one-piece fiberglass hull, full running
gear that includes Kort nozzles and brass propellers. Decks and
superstructure plus a detailed interior are built from printed
and die cut styrene. A detailed fitting set is included with
over 140 cast white metal fittings, etched brass window frames
and 28 rubber tires and rubber bow fender material. A
comprehensive assembly instruction booklet is included with
drawings and printed plans.
This model is based on the builders
drawings and on the original prototype which we visited in the
first quarter of 1995. We would like to thank Itchen Marine,
Hepworth Shipyard and their staff for the help given to us
during the development of this kit.
