Will do.
I need to dig up the proper link, and I’m out of my office just now. However, in the short term, one source is Cottage Industrry; they claim that their 1/96 ironclads csn be built for RC, and I have at least seen their Palmetto State used to that effect.
The other model both a chum and I were looking at is here, offered at Loyalhanna Dockyard. He asked about this in another RC forum; the kit claims to be RC ready. He was essentially advised that Monitors “weren’t seaworthy” which wasn’t what he was asking about in this first place… which I suspect put him off just a tad. For a military historian, it was the equivalent of pointing out that water is, in fact, wet. Of note, anyway, kit has a built in prop shaft for a mechanical screw.
Finally, a number of Trumpeter kits (most of their carriers, in fact) can be accessorized with after market kits for RC, but those essentially seem to be shafts and props, occasionally upgraded with a motor, so I’m honestly not sure what else would be needed, quite literally being a landlubber in that respect as far as RC goes!
