Most excellent job I couldn't decide if it was the real thing at first glance.
Would like to be able to get pictures as good for my two I have one the first rc boat I built the 2 second the raf fire tender courtesy of Marky I have a 1/16 scale sailboat Bristol channel pilot cutter needs finishing but it the setting up of the sail workins that's holding things up and no one for advice.

Hi! Marky, I have just recovering from a stroke Andi have a gaff rigged cutter half done but as it was my first time building a sail boat I was stuck when it came to the sail set up then the stroke I can't get back to it so I would wonder if you could possibly negotiate another set for the eezebilt RAF tender cut in plywood.
I would be most willingly pay for it no problem,
Please don't fret if its not possible I will understand
Laters then Mick
