S.S. Bohuslan by Cadet Chief Petty Officer Posted: 5 hours ago

[Score: 5/10] 36" S.S. Bohuslan Single Propellor (4 Blade 40mm) Direct Drive to a Electric (4 Blade) Powered by NiCad (7.2v) Batteries Controlled Through to buy ESC - Comments: Originally a 'Billing kit', no. NR 450. The hull was nearly completed , most of the brass bits are there, and masts, but with a few missing /broken mahogany pieces. But if you visit a Swedish web page you can count the deck stantions and windows. Chris
