This is the latest of my builds a french deep sea trawler LE ZENITH .We renamed this model in memory of our daughter who sadly passed away two years ago breaking many hearts.
The ship was a delight to build but has still some electrics to complete..This is my weak point having blown up two speed controllers previously through my inexperience.I have just my speed control to wire and we are ready for a test run when the weather is a bit kinder

For my first foray into boats I have acquired what is like a Vosper Firefloat Mk.2 but it is different. The wheel house section of my boat is different, being longer, the mid-ship section having three windows in lieu of two and the stern is completely different in profile.

I have spent many nights trawling the internet to see if there is anything like my very detailed model but to no avail and I have even asked a few of my old work colleagues who are ex-naval men if they can help out in identification. I am wondering whether this could be an elusive Mk. 1 - the boat that was never put into commission.

I attach a few photos of my model in the hope that someone out there can throw some light on it. it is in very good condition and a few years old, is fitted with a Graupner Eco 600 motor on a single prop with 7.2 NiMh batteries. it is about 34" in length and 9" beam and goes really well, planes quickly and turns very tightly - in all a cracking boat. The numbers on the side of the boat are strange as they relate to what I believe is a coastal command unit - the numbers are not new as they appear to be original under the paintwork. Any help in identifying what actual boat it is modelled on would be appreciated.

Regards
Alan

This boat was a hull I was given I made a pilot boat and it looks ok. about 42 ins long goes well and has nav lights that work not to heavy it might of made a mtb but there you are I am a shipwright x bibby line on troop ships and did not much to do with navy ships thanks Russell

I just finished this ship, based on my Fiberglass hull. Ship is powered by 3x Speed 600 with gearboxes 3:1

My first post on site as a new member !
I can't take credit for the building this Deans Marine kit, my father did that some 15 years ago but as a static model. When he passed away the ship came to me and a few months ago I decided to make it seaworthy.
She used a standard MabuchI 540RS motor geared down using two 6v lead acid batteries - and runs for hours !
The pictures were taken at Peterborough Area Model Boat Club during our Sunday meet. I'm thrilled with it, very realistic at over four feet long, smooth and very manoeuvrable - Dad would have loved it :-))
I have a dozen or so RC boats, mostly vintage Aerokits and Veron, just bought my first Fire Boat to restore - more to follow I hope. Thanks for looking, Roger

fire boat found on flea market in very bad condiction re stored by me to what you see in photo .I am a retierd shipwright living in the wirral chesire

A couple of photos of a friends model of a WW2 Liberty ship
She's approx 5 foot long and runs on 12 volts , looks pretty real l!!!

Scratched built prototype 1880s victorian tug (hull) by Metcalf Mouldings H.M.S kit length 44" beam 10".

The original tug was built to tow sailing ships in shallows, hence it's shallow draught and wide beam. Well that's my story and I'm sticking to it!!

Another one not finished!

W165 was built by Roger Forlines, he's a member of Shelton Scale Ship Modelers R/C boat club.

This boat took six months to build and is to Scale as laid down by model manufacture, the boat was weathered to depict a long voyage on the north seas.

Also, the Jim Wilder tug, this took four months to build and has been built to look like a turn of the century steam tug which worked the San Fransisco bay area.

The last picture it is dressed up for Christmas.

This boat is a cabin cruiser. it is powered by 2 dumas 12 volt motors, one motor fried. This boat minus elecs and motors is for sale at 75.00 plus shipping.

Had it in water this year about 1 month ago. This boat you will not find anymore. The plans are included with it.
