Stephen - SimonLLeading SeamanHI StephenHI Stephen thanks for the reply, yes we are very fortunate with fantastic weather here and it was a great day for our first launch we even had the press there. I was over there a few years back at Christmas time and it snowed heavily and I feel for you all when you have your winters. Thanks for the great website, I thought it would be nice to let everyone know that we exist in SA and would welcome visitors when they are out here.

- wombatjamesLeading SeamanPly parts are router cut, as you see them in the build photos. Only the hull formers are balsa and you cut them out with a craft knife. 3mm balsa. Hull skins are 0.8mm ply and deck and cabin is 1.5mm ply. Gun bits and torpedos are provided as plain dowels so you have to do a little bit of scratch finishing. Comes with a very basic motor about 200 size and a simple tube, prop shaft and prop. For a little boat it has a lot going for it. Didnt glass hull, used ordinary PVA, sanding sealer, spray car high build primer, spray grey primer and gloss.Ply parts are router cut, as you see them in the build photos.
