Had to re-print the ammo boxes incl. lids and engine hatch as they were to small for the holes in the deck, now I'm happy that i bought a Bambu Lab X1C, so they were printed in 0.08mm layer-height at high speed, reducing the amount of sanding needed.
Did the cowl-vents in resin for a better surface quality, ohh they are so smooth.
The day-cabin has been sanded lightly and a layer of fin model filler has been added, last pic. show a test fitting, the 50cal. gun turret needs some sanding as the resolution in the file is low

📝 Stand 50cal. and crew

Have been running my resin printer for a few days now, so the .50cal's has been done and some crew figures is ready for processing and paint. Also made a stand for it, just cheap 18mm shelf pine and 2 pieces of 28mm pine that were laying in the workshop, stained as teak and 4 layers of Junkers ship varnish should do it 👍

Back in business more or less I couldn't sand the hull down in the garage due to other stuff going on there, so had to wait for good weather.
Have to balance this project between my job and another project (not model boat related)
Did managed to get first layer of P100 on 2/3 of the hull and it's now curing in the good weather.

Kyosho Tom's River bought back in 1990, it was way to slow with the original set-up and ended up on the shelf. LiPo and BL motors has changed that, and it is now up and running again. And now as it should do 👍
Only "negative" thing is the noise from the prop when sailing indoors.

Found a set of 3D files on www.cgtrader.com designed by bensworx.
I have printed most of the parts, know and has started to assemble it.
It will be big model Length 4ft and beam 1.05ft the four hull parts took a total of 10 days to print.
Hull is printed in 0.2layers so some sanding and filler is needed to get it where it should be. Other parts has been printed at 0.16 and 0.12 layer thickness. Crew and some other parts that should be smooth and not easy to sand, will be printed on a resin printer.

1/35 scale in wood may cause some challenges with the weight, but old school setup with one 385/400 type with a light weight 2S LiPo and a cheap 10-20Amp ESP striped down may be the solution, personally I would opt. for a Brushless setup with 2S Lipo, any ways it require that you have a charger that can handle LiPo´s. BrushLess can also be slow but the weight of them are minimal compeer to a brushed alternative.

Aero-Naut Mowe 2 bought it when it hit the stores. Some years ago.
It is a great starters kit and will make a nice model, and there are great possibilities to add more details on the go.
I use the motor, prop and shaft that came with the kit, added a 9g blue servo and a Chinese 10A ESC, and a 1700mA 2S (6.6V) LiFe battery

Thanks :-) And the figure is not at part of the download, it's a paid for Stl file found on cults3d. And it does not fit directly had to reduce the legs by 7mm and heat up the arms to make it fit the steering position.

Elke is a classic vintage kit and I would stay with a 6V Lead cell as suggested in the instructions.
LiPO's is a great invention when one need the power but Elke will not benefit of that.

IMO the important current draw is the stall current = the max amount of current it will load the ESC with if the propeller is bocked 100%, you could choose some thing like 80% of the stall current, then it will not blow during start up and it will still be protected if the prop snags.

Brass is looking good, but if you have the original 2mm shaft the extra weight may cause excessive load = more were and tear on it. IMO stay with the original and enjoy it.

Hello Fulvio
The pitch is not that important for Elke, any 3 bladed prop for fishing boat will do the job, and it is seldom that suppliers of cheap plastic props for kits like this, actually is specifying the pitch.

1: My Elke has a small 3 bladed plastic prop with a diameter of 23-25mm.
2: I have used LiFe batteries as substitutes for Lead batteries.
3: Regarding light, I seldom add these to my models, but when I do, I used LED's and add a resistor for each, based on the diode voltage and required mA. You can buy small LED's with wires that are mad to handle a range of voltage. Some of my friends at the club is using them

Hi Roy
I have just scanned them all, not sure how detailed they are as they are form 1969 (wow I was 1 year at that time) and they will be available soon on my sky drive, I'll send you a link for download.
Please note that the German one is with pictures and the Eng. is only text so you have to download both.
Sharing you email => under my profile Picture there are a button "Send PM" click on that and you can send me a Private messaged.

I fare as i know, this kit comes with 3 sheet plan, and no build instruction other than those 3 sheets.
If it's the sheets you are missing I can provide some photo's of them

Started on an easy build. A White Start from Billing Boats.
As usually the build instruction is very basic, all is more ore less shown on the main drawing.
I have skipped the original 3mm shaft and added a 4mm from Robbe incl. a 3 blade Graupner racing prop as used in my Classic.
I'll be using a 1100KV Brushless motor with a 2S LiPo.
The basic of the hull is now done.

That is a BB Samson II, using the same ABS hull as Sea Star and Polar and as you state from the late 80's- beginning of the 90's.
DMI and BB were competitors in the 60-80's and the wooden model names are often mixed up, between them. This at least in Denmark.
