Dave Keech of Ellesmere Port. I refurbished an RAF Crash tender 10 years ago and it was almost a total wreck. It was the 34 inch model dawbed in yellow paint with most bits missing apart from the hull and part of the superstructure. The one Trident has just refurbished is actually one of the early ones like mine and if you see the area just below and also on the front of the bridge you will see that there are no portholes. This indicates it is one of the early models from Aerokits possibly late 1950s or early 60s.In those days most of the kit parts were cut out by hand.

๐ฌ Re: Italeri Vosper RC conversion.

I built an Italeri PT 109 several years ago and like the Vosper the quality of the parts are excellent.
I managed to squeeze in the 480 brushed motor with esc plus enough room for a 2S 2400 mh Li Po. It looks so real at scale speed but can go a bit faster but I have to be careful I dont burn out the motor.
Are Italeri still making boat kits as I havent seen them in the shops of late .
