Yes I see it now you point it out.I can only Imagine that it looks even better in reality.My knowledge of these boats is zilch,A fellow club member picked up a vac formed hull and superstructure at Ellesmere show bring and buy for A£35 and asked if I would have a go at building it for him.I am sure you fireboat officianados would be horrified at the attempt I am making and no doubt there will be a lot of things incorrect by the time I have done.But hey-ho,I'll put it down to "modellers licence" as My mate is looking for a "representation" of a fireboat.
What it has done however ,is generate a genuine liking for these type of craft,Fireboats,Crash tenders etc. so when I have got through my current projects will look seriously into getting one and doing it properly.Can you reccomend a commercially available kit,either 1/24 0r 1/32.
I have been building for a few years now and my build list so far include Deams Marine MGB 77,many M S kits,nameley Tsekoa,Al Khubar,Envoy,Dutch Courage ,Our lass,Maggie M.My first build was a Robbe Antje followed by a Cap Maquettes SNS 2000 wooden kit.So you see my boat interests are many and varied.Andy

Deans do a range of raf launches under their fast launches section. They do a 1/24th fire boat within this for about A£120. I built one of these a couple of years ago. Not the best quality kit in the world but with some skill and rework makes a good model. I put a 18owatt 1100 kv brushless od 7. 2 volts and a 35mm x prop in mine and it flies. Let me know if you need any info on these boats.

HI Tom,
Hope you are well. Finally got my boat on the water at the weekend (Fleetwood Scale & Power weekend) and I was quite pleased with things, however it does keep blowing fuses so I will re-wire and see if that helps other wise I am flumoxed.
I am considering converting it to 2 props though to be more true to the original boats and wondered if you had any tips and internal/external pictures of your 46 for me to look at.
Many thanks again Tom.
Dean
