The Commodore is a lovely looking craft and with careful finishing touches, eg. coach stripes, can look even better. A shame the existing stripes are poorly applied, but you will take care of that when you refinish the hull. Twin rudders (positioned behind each propellor) are a must.
Good luck, and we look forward to seeing how you get on 😉

Hi Bob, I sold mine about 40yrs ago and regretted it. I saw another one for sale in our local selling site about 15 yrs ago and should have bought it. I had other things to do at the time and didn't, and regretted not buying that one (before Lipos etc were readily available) Would have loved to modernise it. Only other one I've seen in NZ, (those kits were worth a kidney here back then)- could have even been my old one.

I always thought they were modelled off a Constellation. Looking forward to see what you do with yours.
