Both myself and I think Kit asked him about  re releasing them but nothing has come of it Lee,  so not looking like  he is interested.

The Blue Water set I have is the SAM Publications set from years ago when they were introduced just after Airfix had released their TSR2. You never know, someone might have one to sell ---

IIRC, much of the SAM resin was mastered and cast by Paul Lucas and I think he took the masters with him when he and SAM had a fallout (possibly around the time Neil Robinson left).  I think some of them have since been reissued by Freightdog.

OR, to convert 1/48th to 1/72nd, just divide by 72, then multiply by 48.
I must be having a  bulb dimming moment, as I am not sure how that works H.

A. Take the 1/48th measurement.

B. Divide A by 72.

C. Multiply B by 48.

D. You now have the 1/72nd measurement.

Haha, probably not, although I  left school  33 years ago, and taught myself  more  useable every day things than  school did.

Exactly as I understand it as well.

Paul is the absolute MASTER of resin add-ons, and I hope he has an apprentice to carry on the good work in later years.
