I made my own from bits of tube and old coins for flanges. The nozzle is just sleeved down with progressively smaller tube till it squirted about right. Pump is a standard grapnel unit. Hopefully this link to a photo blog will work.

This is a Kitshack 46 inch Crash Tender. Nearly finished with a bit more detail yet to finish powered by 2 1400 kv brushless motors running on car speed controllers at 7.2 volt. Goes like stink! Has working rotatable fire monitors which are scratch built

Some updated photos of my Crash tender. Built from Kitshack kit. Close to maiden voyage now when I can test the twin brushless motors.

Updated photos. Some of the plywood in the kit was the wrong size or the grain in the wrong direction for bending the cabin roofs. Not a particular problem just Irksome. Hence I opted for 2mm plastic well floors (the white stuff). The stern well will be planked later to look the part. So far very pleased 😊

The inside of the skins is treated with resin and mat and the bulkheads with resin only up to approx deck level. I felt that on this size of model the skins needed a bit of reinforcement to make them more stable during final finishing
