Just finished this model. Bought it sometime ago at Coatbridge Model Exhibition It was just an unfinished hull with fittings. The boat has twin motors, props, rudders and 2 old Hi Tech ESC with 2 battery pack at 7.2 volts using one at a time. Still to have it on the water yet due to lockdown. Has one of those home made controllers that when you turn the inner motor slows down and the outer one speeds up to aid turner tighter. Scale 1/12 I am now doing a building blog of the model.
A few pictures of yesterdays maiden voyage at Ayr Model Boat Club
Jshander Many thanks I Didn't build the hull thou But it needed a lot of tlc Couldn't believe it but the build instruction said to remove the frames after the hull was finished

Here is a thread on the circuit with a lot of information
32344 was on the plan drawn by Victor Baca in the early nineties. His model was donated to U.S.C.G.Museum Northwest in Seattle WA.
