- DonnieboyWarrant OfficerBoat looked great.The boat ran just fine.Not too much over scale speed.It's good to have a little more speed to avert obstacles,especially oyher boats that don't know where they are.Liked by rcmodelboats

- ibobideRecruitI also have the same model, i struggled a bit with the balsa planking but eventually managed it. I was never happy with my UK version of the upperworks so ive since stripped it all down & am basically starting all over again but with the hull intactLiked by figtree7nts
- f4u7RecruitMany thanks for your kind words, I've not sailed her yet, only test tank and had to up the water line a little bit for more stability, I also scaled up the plans to true 1/96 as the plan is around 1/100, the 1/96 fittings I bought from fleetscale were out of scale to the plan, and using the 1.1 water line length noted in the magazine article.Liked by Donnieboy
- RNinMunichFleet AdmiralYou're dead right there Leslie,
First we have to get the damn things to DO the work, and do it RIGHT!
The department printer would always go kaputt on Friday evening when I wanted to print a 130 page system description and the courier was stamping up and down outside 😡
"Brave New World" !!
