That's pretty cool, Will, do you know what scale it is?

Re: Cheap RC speedboat into military fast response
Ok so I looked on internet.
It is a Sea Ray made by New Bright.
It is 18'
I found a similar real boat called a Sea Ray Sun dancer 410.
It is 12.7m on length.
The model is 460mm.
Therefore I make that 1:28 scale roughly.
So not in keeping unfortunately but it still.gonna look.cool towing in behind

Camo almost done. Still got the dark grey/green to touch in then add some lights. Next job after is then make a trailer to carry to the water by Will Pattinson, on Flickr
Lights next, then a quick sail and maybe some internal modification. Really however i just want it to look good on a trailer which can be pulled behind one of the trucks

Re: Cheap RC speedboat into military fast response
It looks great, Will, but don't you think it needs a whole bunch of guns stickin' out everywhere?

Re: Cheap RC speedboat into military fast response
We Americans are not obsessed with guns. We just love to own them and hold them and touch them and play with them and talk about them every chance we get.

It's definitely not a city for the faint at heart.

Re: Cheap RC speedboat into military fast response
A porch stolen hahaha.
My mate in Detroit has certainly had some odd goings on. But obviously likes it enough to take residence
As for the boat I am.going to mount a gun in the front where the yellow sticker is. Then maybe some other details.
Its a free boat to me so I just wanted to make it more in keeping with military style other models.
Taken long enough to paint it though with humbrol pots lol
