very very nice model , I assume she's fully rc'd

[tomhugill]

Is that the graupner artr?

[Jfox61]

Yes to both questions it is the Graupner artr and she is fully kitted out for RC. Added extras by me are, twin smoke units one for each funnel, Action Electronics esc, motor and rudder controller/mixer and Action Electronics programmable sound board. The sounds include quad steam turbine engines, general stations klaxon, air raid sirens, aa and main gun firing and a few other general sounds, like crewmen shouting and various types of aircraft and bomb effects. Im in the process of motorising the turrets.

Looks fantastic you have done a great job of it. I remember a story I was told years ago that a whole street in the gorbals in Glasgow was vertully wiped out of young men that fateful day.
