The vessels of the Loyal Class were built by Holmes to a Royal Navy design in the late 1970s for transporting stores, personnel and to do a variety of jobs around the fleet. They have since been sold out of Navy service and converted to dive support tenders, medical relief vessels etc.
The kit enables the model maker to build a model of any one of the 8 vessels of the Loyal class, or with very slight modifications any one of the 33 vessels of the A, B and X class tenders. 
The comprehensive instructions and drawings make Loyal a fairly simple project for modellers with limited experience. The techniques learnt in building this boat would set them up for more ambitious projects in the future.
