- StonemonkeyMaster SeamanThe figures in the boat look really great man, where did you get these and can you get naval/raf figures at 1:12?

Dusseldorf fireboat
Appologies for camera inaccuracy, but when you are trying to control the boat and film, things get a wee bit erratic!, but nevertheless, finally got some moving footage of my build.

- deckapeMaster SeamanThe Revell New York Firefighter kit is out of production perhaps some day Revell might reissue the kit like everything else they produce so many and go to something else. the best suggestion I can give you is to check ebaythese New york fireboats appear from time to time, I bought this kit in 1966. Had it all those years, she was originally a static display peice got the urge to RC her I followed up on the urge to do this. Now I take out to the metro pond.

Loschkreuzer Wesel Fire Boat
Just completed , not exactly origonal but not too far out. On the pond for the first time today after a rebuld, and very happy with it I am. Graupner kit, Don't know the builder, but when bought it was yellow! it just had to be put back to red. I didn't like the green deck, so it became mid-grey (gloss rubbed down to semi-mat). Powered by 3 Graupner 500 motors. Working radar and lights (worked from a key-fob, not transmitter). Sailed at inverleith Pond, Edinburgh. Home of Edinburgh Model Boat Club.

- redoctoberAble SeamanI have seen this boat operating on the water, it is a work of art, the detail is superb, the speed is I am sure
a very close scale down of the original boat.

- deckapeMaster SeamanThats how you do it John I built mine the same way from her keel to the fore top. These Hatman douglas Greg Tugs are very popular to scale boaters. they are a lot different ever scince Harbor models got there hands on it. Like I memtioned before when Dwight was ghetting Ill all the molds went to Steve Lillard they were all destroyed because he didn,t use the proper mold release agent. Harbor has done a fine job reconstructing the molds. Take your time it will be a fine tug when done and one heck of a show stopper. Franklyn
Spot the real one!

34in Aerokit Fireboat
Had a full refurb but still need the window frames making when I can get round to it . Goes really well with a Graupner 700BB Neodym on 14.4 volts. Still trying to find the right prop, but pretty close now to getting it right . Aim to getting it up to 19.2 volt
Should really fly then.
