Aerokits 34" hull
Bought off ebay, where else! Had been started as a cruiser, with one very small electric motor,then put in a loft for goodness knows how many years.Replaced prop shaft with 2, 40mm r/h and l/h props, 2x 540 motors running through 40a esc.Radio is 27mhz. 2ch. would like to swap to 2ghz to get rid of the unsightly aerial! I am awaiting some plasticard windows to Improve the looks and will slowly add fittings as and when.I tend to sail it every now and again on the boating lake in BUXTON, no-one has shouted as yet,though I'm not sure the swans approve.!: The photo on the water was just as the power was running down, none as yet at speed.It is very manoeverable with the twin rudders,almost on the gunwhales at speed.

Dusseldorf Fireboat at speed !
Photo's taken on sunday [6/4/10] weather was quite windy so water a bit choppy, but fireboat coped very well as you can see from the superb bow wave it creates! the twin prop and 4 rudder arrangement makes it a very maneouverable boat, even at high speed it handles all tight turns with ease and dont swamp the stern deck either!

my 1/32 scale whale twin shafts two motors
I built this model from the astec mouldings semI kit
it has two monoperm motors in running off two 6 v
buggy packs twin shafts ewin rudders I bought plans
of original whaleback and modified it to suit the
hull and top the figures where modified 1/32 eighth
army multipose figures from airfix they had tin hats
and a captains hat in figures so not too much to
modify the guns where bought from nautical marine
models came as kits I think it didnt come out too bad

    Is this kit built, as I have been looking for one. I have my eye on a 'Kitshack' kit off Ebay.
  • Michael RPetty Officer 2nd Class
    no it was built from photos it will be at the new woodvale site this year in southport 28&29 july in southport the small model slipway kit is nice size for a car boot but if you have more space the kitshack the larger one is nice also the slipway one is a formed cabin and hull the kitshack is wood a lot more work but your prefrence good luck micheal
