KOMETA HYDROFOIL
A GOOD AFTERNOON YACHTBUILDERS
as the weather is so fantastic in Belgium, i was browsing on you tube and felt all over on pictures and films of the above made by the russians. I have made this model for an import company for modelboats ( kits, accssoires,hulls) modelcars, and plaines.
The boat was equiped with 2 motors and it sailed quite beautifully as well as the original. As it is that long ago no pictures anymore

GRAUPNER CHRIS CRAFT CONSTELLATION
this model was the first boat i have built when i was 15 years old. unfortunately no more pictures anymore
The model was equiped with a variophon grundig 2 channel
with a kinematic servo that controls the rudder and forwards/stop/backwards. It has given me a lot of pleasure and gave it away to a young boy living in Italy who was the sun of my boss sister
And even today i still have the equipment in the original boxes

HARRO KOEBKE 1/32 SCALE
after years of searching for a modelkit at an acceptable price found finally one on Ebay.de and it's going well. Most of the models don' tilluminate the landing pad which i did and also found a heli at the same scale.
The mast is completely luminated with 2 working radars with mini motors.

The speed line model is not a 100% made to reality. I changed the upper control to my imagination as well as the lighting in the mast. 2 blinking blue flashlights. Navigation lights, search lights box thruster

Lew a good day
The second boat i made when i was 16 was the Graupner Dachs which came out before the Wiesel and looked simular. I have done a lot of competitions of Naviga which was the european organisation. The best i got was the 6 th place in F2B national belgian competition.
I found it a fantastic model even today
