That drawing I used Sketchup 3d Ver 8 then exported a 2d. The drawing is based off pictures so may not be totally accurate. Check out the 3dwarehouse
and the software sketchup

EDIT I just received a set of Newton plans, my hull drawings are so different from the newton plans. also found out that ML boatworks offers laser cut kits of newton plans. sorry to say Miss Supertest is not offered yet.

Roostertail: The Miss Supertest Story pg162 "People found it hard to comprehend that Miss Supertest III was actually going to be retired. Offers by interested parties to purchase the hull, engine and gearbox were forthcoming, but these were turned down. Jim Thompson was willing to help any group of Canadians who were ready to seriously get involved in the racing game by either providing them with the plans for Miss Supertest, or by even designing another boat. However he had no interest in allowing the U.S. or another country to gain possession of the work, time and effort that he and his father had put in on behalf of Canada."

I received an e-mail from ML boatworks they have a Miss Supertest II they have no plans to offer a Miss Supertest III. They have no plans to offer a 1/6 scale Miss Supertest II.

Been doing research on Griffon engines. here are some pictures



Miss Canada IV engine fresh off truck I think










notice different shape of intake port to intake, also no coolant tubes above intake, and coolant port halfway down cylinder, magneto removed



you might notice also 5 studs on the exhaust port instead of 4 on the Merlin
had a hard time finding any Griffons with the inter-cooler except in the service manuals

Nice project. Round nose hulls are my favorite. Getting them to run well can be a challenge, though. My solutions with the 1/6 gas scale $ Bill can be found in the article Scaling Up .
