Fairmile D - MGB623 and MTB741
Both Fairmile D boats 1/24 scale and are scratch built. They have both been about 6 years in operation.
MGB623 is an MGB, flying the Norwegian flag and belongs to a good friend.
Mine is MTB741. it is powered by 2 Graupner Speed 700 12V motors with NiMH batteries. The 6 pdrs and 20mm guns can rotate. it has a balsa planked hull and fibreglass skin. Decks and superstructure are also balsa. Guns are from tinplate and brass.

    Excellent boats with great scale performance. I like the Fairmile Ds as they are good subjects for modelling and at static displays they always attract a lot of attention.

ALL THE TOY SAILING BOATS
Anyone know who made these glorious boats, particularly through the sixties and seventies. Countless hours with the children watching them sail round and round till the wind would act in their favour and bring them back to shore. Frequently though, had to wade in with my trousers rolled up to rescue them. Of course the crying would stop then.

    lovely, but the weed looks a bit of a risk in such a big pond !!!

    Yes, Unfortunately the weeds keep increasing. Each time it submerged near the bottom it was stopped by the weeds and surfaced in the same place. I edited these out.

    Hi Mactin, there was also a 'Seahawk' in the Star Trek / Wars saga!
    Shame about USS Penguin, would have been a tasty boat 😉
    BTW: penguins are my favourite animal. so funny, or imperious like the Emperor penguins. 👍
    Didn't know about the film either, when I think about sub films Operation Petticoat comes to mind! How about doing a pink one!!!?😲
    Keep up the great work, Cheers Doug 😎

    PS: USS Enterprise, CVN 65, 'played' the part of USS Seahawk in the CAG TV series! 😎
