A seller on Ebay is selling 1/48th scale 3D-printed models of Donald Campbell's Bluebird K7 world-record breaking jet speedboat.

Price seems reasonable at £20: LINK

I've got his 'High Speed Small Craft' book and it's amazing. Hardly a page in it that doesn't have a graph, diagram or equation concerning getting a hefty number of knots from a small(-ish) boat!
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)
