What a gorgeous boat! Awesome build.
If only I had your skills .....

So far my collection resembles "The Island of Misfit Toys". I've picked up several boats that are old builds and have been neglected. I'm giving them the TLC they need, hoping to bring them back to their former glory. Once I get enough practice/ experience I intend to take on a full build.
Many thanks Colin next when I get to it will be the dumas Dauntless but every time I look at it I'm reminded of the Disco Volante from Thunderball so now I'm thinking shall I make it semi hydrofoil

That's a beautiful model of a great classic, hope to see her on the water soon.
Well done shipmate, it's a model to be proud of.
Cheers Colin.
Well two years on and apart from a battery and sea trials she's done ...Well as much as a modeler calls it as there never really finished so Slec Huntsman Kit 41 inch version all plank on frame kit was Well presented and went together really well compared to some ive done in the past . Not a beginners kit but not to hard some knowledge required as I felt the plans and instructions a bit dated and vague in places it has the additional white metal kit fitted .. new for me was the electrics fist boat for me that's Brushless and lipo but advice from this site has helped .I will upload a vid when I take her for a run
