There is also this which uses your android phone or tablet as the viewing screen. I think it is designed to be used with a goggle headset so there is a split screen. Not sure if you can select single screen.

Might be best to find a small "used" drone and part out the RX/TX video equipment. You could also try Hobbyking or Banggood websites.

Sorry I'm a little late to the conversation but this file I have found handy determining figure size / scale.
Hope it helps.

Did you try a youtube search?: revell 1/72 gato rc build
The Nautilus Drydock is a super cool site. Looks like they have a great build/info kit for just 40 bucks!

Many of there were built right here in my hometown Richmond, California at the Kaiser Shipyards.
Interesting to see this model painted in a more civilian paint scheme as most were undoubtedly navy grey.
Here is an interesting video on their history and construction:

Well I was looking for a fantail launch hull to build up. More in the style of an Elliot Bay launch preferably fiberglass or ABS around 36 inches or more. I had built a Midwest fantail launch which I had lengthened about 6 inches, but I'll be damned If I can find it! Built it 10 plus years ago and then went on to other hobbies. It is somewhere up in the attic or the garage, just can't seem to find it.

Santa Fe Railroad Tug
AT&SF - Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway
I have now built a railroad barge to push around with a few "G" scale rail cars on deck. Hull is solid Styrofoam 4" thick about 18" wide and nearly 6' long. Hull was painted with a rubberized coating called FlexSeal. Deck is plywood.

You likely already know, LED's are polarity sensitive so if some don't light reverse it's polarity.

Thanks Chris. I picked it up on eBay along with an unbuilt Stuart 501 boiler and what I think are most of the Krick fittings for a Patricia steam launch. Wish I had the hull to go with it!

Thanks Rick,
I have run this on steam and it runs well. I just wanted instructions to make sure there were no "model specific" instructions before I tested. I did oil it well with steam oil and ran it slow and steady for about 10 minutes. All seemed well with only slight leakage around the throttle/direction control valve.

Hello all,
I have recently picked up a Krick marine power plant likely from a Patricia. If anyone can help I am looking for a copy or a scan of the assembly/operating instructions. Attached are a couple of pictures.
Happy Holidays to you all.
