    41 inch Fairey Huntsman short kit from Sarik Hobbies
    Almost water ready, just the front railing to add and "bob's your uncle" Beautiful boat to build and an ideal scale to my mind. This is the James Bond boat as seen in "From Russia with Love" so lots of pictures on the internet for the finish detail. I'm usoing a simpke set uo of 600 brushed "can" style motor with 40amp ESC and a 7.2 v nimh battery and after the pond trials I'll let you know if that is powerful enough

    best effect I have achieved is six or eight coats of good quality Yacht varnish applied by brush and sanding in between coats

    Madwelshman, you are quite correct, the plans I bought for building this model are the Vic Smeed and Veron did indeed offer the 42 inch kit of the 28' Huntsman. As far as I am concerned it's the Huntsman and I had much enjoyment and pleasure building it. This is from a plan so all the fittings, seats and bits n' bobs are fashioned by me. The silver air vents on the side are fashioned from an empty HP sauce plastic bottle!! For me that's the fun in this hobby rightly or wrongly . I also enjoy sailing my models with my Grandsons so I am passing on some old fashioned enjoyment, having fun is the objective.
