      Superb Scott, it's looking great, must be a monster in that scale! What are the 6 upright things under the water outlets on the stern?

          I just Primed the hull on mine :-( Can we say sags, curtains and pooling! Looks like I'm in for a few hours rubbing down tomorrow!

          Would just liek to say that I look at your photos quite a lot during the painting process.

          I find it amussing that a kit that big and so big on detail has a painting profile the size of a post card!!!

          Gregg: If you want to Radio yours, a few suggestions.

          Props Raboesch type D have the best shape for scale but the smallest is Ø30mm which is a bit over scale there type A is a good altermative and looks OK you can get those right down to Ø20

          If you want to run all three props remember to get left and right turning props on the outter props and what ever you like on the center one. Action electonics do a controller that wil run three motors but only uses the left and right motor for tooling around and fires up in the center one when you give it full stick.

          I would suggest to aid the stearing you oversize the rudders abit.

          A motor that gives around 14000 rpm at 8v shold do the trick.

          No Im Not RCing mine before you ask. Just know a few that have.
