As with the posts of Jaws with the model of Orca, you could add something similar. This is a Megladon that was caught by Dutch fishermen.

Brilliant workmanship on your figure.

Here are some pictures of HMS Royal Marine, a Deans Marine model of an armed trawler of that era.
I will take a look at the drawings and see if there is any details of the colour scheme.

Another “none of the above” type questions
The first steam powered circumnavigation was HMS Drake, a steam powered paddle wheel sloop.

Update after running my Perkasa, the prop is too small and too coarse and the rudder too small. This I expected.
She sits a bit high in the water but is very stable.
My conclusion is that I am going to fit three screws, as per Lews design, and two rudders.

Hi Roy, Thanks but this one was electric when I bought it all I have done is to rip out the old motor, speed controller, receiver and receiver battery holder. This has been replaced with a 35Mhz setup with BEC and brushless speed controll and LiPos.
This boat has GRP hull and superstructure, it is a bit light so more batteries or ballast.

I bought this 39” Perkasa with the view to restoring it. Needs quite a bit of work on the paint work and fittings. I intend to possibly make it three screw, it is currently single screw. I have fitted a motor, radio gear and batteries and am taking it down to the club tomorrow to see how it goes. My previous one was powered by a OS 40 and was over powered, see how this goes.

I use roofing lead, I have a lot of offcuts and what is left of a roll from alterations were done to my house a few years back. The roofers wanted to take it away so I asked them to weigh it and credit me for it as I was been charged for the roll. They moaned a bit but left the off cuts and remainder of the roll. This will eep me going for quite a while.
Another source is discarded wheel balancing weights, you may be able to get some from your local tyre fitment centre.

In the past when tuning motors on RC power boats we used an adaptor on the end of a hose pipe to connect a silicone tube to the water inlet and another tube to take away the used water. This worked well for outdoor bench running.

Quaycraft models have stopped trading due to I’ll health of the owner. He says that he will probably have to sell the business.
His fittings are some of the best I have seen so this is a real pity.

Another BS question, cruise missiles can be launched by aircraft, ships and land based launchers as well as subs. The the same goes for ballistic missiles. So todays answer should be B and C or either. 🤔
