About this boat

New addition to the fleet.
ARTR Graupner HMS Belfast.
PLEASE SEE CURRENT BUILD BLOG 👍

I have purchased this almost new model for a give away price to personalise for our youngest Grandson who recently visited Belfast on the Thames,and also because Grandad just loves WW2 era modelling 👍😇

I am not a ARTR fan in the slightest as they look too pristine but needs must on this one as it was too good to miss.

I will be doing a lot of work to:
Have all main armament rotating.
Rotating radar.
Functional servo assisted crane.
Both funnels with smoke effect.
Appropriate lighting and Navigation lights.
Subtle weathering to reflect a working ship of the line.

There is surprisingly a lot of room below decks 👍.

    Hi Bill, it's a little strange that this magnificent RC model only received my comment.
    Here too, as with HMS Bluebell, I want to express my admiration for how you painted your model.

    Hi Bill, I would have liked to see this too when I came to London but my wife doesn't like ships too much, but in Genoa she satisfied me by showing me a galley and a submarine.
