Hi, this is great didn't know there was a Ship section on here too .. I happened to find a cheap kids toy 'smasher'/ 'thunder' destroyer a while back, and after having fun with it realised it was based on a Russian Sovremenny class destroyer, so the old ocd kicked in and had to make it so! (though with my own unhistorically accurate paint scheme@)..Didn't upgrade the interals but did change the props out for non-racing types, and the Heng Long 2s LI-ION 18OOma fits perfect and lasts waaay longer.

has had a couple of refits too since

I miss playing in the bathtub. And you have an excellent reason to be playing in the bathtub! Aye Aye, Sir!

Thank You Sir!.. There was an Incursion into the Bathroom sink peninsula by members of the Wall cabinet, Thier intentions being to seize the vital Toilet roll and Shower-gel fields. The Destroyer was despatched immediately to the Porcelain Gulf and the incursion was swiftly dealt with by missiles and guns, sadly the Kamov was lost over the Loo Canyon with full compliment...THEY WILL BE REMEMBERED!

Lots of photos, but none on the water, that's just how it turned out...
I served 3 years in the navy, the boatswain would have "let us go along the plank" if he had seen such streaks of rust...
The flag on the flagpole is a jack, it is raised when the ship is at anchor, i.e. it is a fortress.
It is called a "fortress flag".

You can walk around the ship...
