Construction report whaler Rau IX 1 : 45

Hello, here are the first pictures from my construction report of the Rau IX by Graupner on a scale of 1:45. I will post the first pictures in a relaxed manner, since I have already started and I am a little further along, more on that later. The hull was almost done so far. The engine was already installed, as was the rudder. The deck was already built up so far and only needs to be glued in place.

I hope that my English can be understood, I mainly work with a translator.

    Hello
    The fans are also in place.

    Now some rigging and of course the German flag.

    I think one more session and then I'll be done.

    Hi Wolle, I'm glad you're almost done.
    The designer certainly cared a lot about getting a lot of air into the galley.
    Jokes aside, you've made a very nice RC model in a very short time, I hope you can get it in the water by summer.

My Rau IX is finished

After almost 2 1/2 years I have finished my Rau.

I have to say it was a bit nerve-wracking but it was also a lot of fun, not least because of your comments, which always motivated me.
It's just a shame that Reinhard (a good friend and model maker who unfortunately passed away last year) can no longer see it and I would like to remind you of Reinhard again at this point.
I have him to thank for the model, because he found it on the Internet and pointed it out to me.

I will add driving pictures and of course a short film in the next few days.

I will do an extra lap for Reinhard.

Thank you all for your support and likes
