About this boat

This is another article for MB magazine. The model plan had to fit across 2 pages (A3) Hence its length. This one is built using the old Keil Kraft Eezibilt methods of the late 1950's. Made using mainly Balsa wood and covered in nylon tights and dope. it is fully detailed mainly using odds and ends . The plexiglass gun turrets are made using 21mm Carp fishing 'Ball' floats. Masters in plastic were fitted to the model after mouldings were made for the Oerlikon 20mm and all the Lewis guns as well as shrapnel padding and most fittings.

2 sheets of highly detailed plans will be free in the Winter Special hopefully with a full photo and build write up.

It goes like a rocket. Great little model and all for under £25.00!. (Inc ESC, Motor and battery!) (Motor: Turnigy 2211 x 1400kv) (ESC: HK 10 Car For/Rev.) (10/10)

    Thanks for liking this little project. It really turned out to be a great little working model and I have had e.mails and messages from all over, including USA, Canada and Australia.....There are more like this on the way, currently the Vosper MTB with 4 torpedos and Oerlikon. A bit bigger at 21 inches and twin brushless. More on that later. Thanks again for your comments......RON.👍
