Probably the best looking boat in the WW2 British Navy. I almost bought one of the plastic kits to convert to RC...but it all looked a bit fragile.

They are very popular for RC conversion, have tried to beef her up by replacing styrene with brass or wood where I can as weight is not an issue

Popped her in the pool to test the systems and she worked a treat.
