Thanks for the info on your model, Dave. I thoroughly agree that the 50/60's models of the 'RAF Navy' vessels have a lot going for them. There's nothing nicer than a planing hull and two hot brushless!

Hi wunwinlo
This was built by another club member and sold on when he finished sailing models so we do not have the plan. It is a model of a Sea Plane tender and was probably built in the 1960's. It could have been a kit from the Maycraft stable or even Veron but also possibly built from a plan in Model Boats or its predecessors. Doug replaced the brushed 550 motors with two 2028 brushless arounf 1000Kv with scale 3 blade brass props and 11.1v LiPo 2200Ma. Models from this period are very nostalgic and I look forward to seeing your model some time in the future, Cheers Dave976 ๐ Like

hI, I like your model. Is it from the old Precision Models kit for the High Speed Patrol Launch? It looks very similar. I bought a similar model at auction two month'ago. I am giving it a refit and upgrade. The huge old brushed motor is coming out, replaced by two brushless, all the windows will be glazed and the lights reconnected. Got a lot on at the moment, so it might be an while, so don't hold your breath! If it is t he Precision Models kit and you have a copy of the draaeing, Iwould very much like a copy. Naturally, I will fully reimburse you

At first I was surprised to see you with boats on open water in Canada.
This week we finally have open water in Central MN, but it was just on the news that there is still 18" of ice on the lakes in northern MN. THEN, I looked at a map and realized that you are considerably south of me. Basically as far south as the MN Iowa border. OK, I'm jealous! I want to be able to play on the lake with my toy boats too! ๐ค ๐ Like

Brilliant. Best war film I've seen in years.
My mtb's of mtb 389. Built 40 odd years ago and left in the loft where it collected dust and soot. When I retired I brought it down, fitted a Graupner 700 motor in and ran it on 14.4v. It plains very realistic. Thanks for the video...๐ ๐ Like

Very impressive - your attention to detail is something else. Wish she was on my coffee table. How did you make the base and stand? Thank you, Gregg

Fantastic model even down to the obligatory table lamps. I am not sure I could manage a model of 63" to say nothing of it taking over a room in my house, if only!!

Sweet looking cruiser. It takes some doing to make those old Sterling kits look that good. Theyโre not bad kits, especially for their time period, but still, a lot of work. Enjoy her, sheโs a keeper!!
