Graupner 'Commodore'

Purchased the kit in 1978, while working on Norfolk island (South Pacific) and built it in 1979. ABS hull, ply deck and balsa and ply cabin. Was a nice model, shouldn't have sold it. Would have been great with modern gear. (Motor: Graupner monoperm) (ESC: 1978 Futaba 18v propo F+R) (5/10)

Nice job B Br, like the woodwork and lights. Still a good looking boat for its' age 👍 No such thing as LiPos or NiMH back then, had to make do with Nicads and Graupner monoperms,- not very fast. Yours will be will be nice with modern gear.
