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

Good to see a Huntsman 28 being built as they are less common than the other Faireys mainly because there haven't been anymore kits since the Veron. Also the Huntress is very similar and kits are available for those.

I used the Vic Smeed drawings as the basis for my Huntsman 28 at a scale of 1:12 (like all my Faireys) and modified it so the superstructure lifts off as one.

I must finish it!

Fair play Raymond, she looks an absolute corker. Credit where it's due, you've build a really nice boat there.

As Chris says, it's great to see another Huntsman 28.
For me, they are the prettiest of the Faireys.

Fantastic too, that you're passing on knowledge, and getting a younger generation interested in model boats.
