This is s very different Naval Subject, with its derricks, winches & survey boats it gives the model a very different appearance from other RN. ships, her white hull and buff funnel make for a very attractive model on the water.
The above package allows for a really detailed model to be made, at 1:48 scale many commercial fittings are now available, fitted with RC. and twin 545 motors her performance on the water is excellent, making her ideal for regatta work, this is not a difficult model to make and well worth the effort.Our prototype model was constructed by the late Frank Cheetham and is a fine example of what a skilled modeller can do with one of our GRP Hulls, although Frank has now very sadly passed away our prototype will always stand as a testament to his skill, we will also always remember a dear and true friend.
