[Der Boss]

Hello

OK, here we go. The Britannia is 43 inches long and 9.25 inches wide. The weight will be around 18 pounds. Here are a few pictures of the kid.

Here is a link

I hope I did everything right.

Lovely !!! That should be a very unusual and interesting model.

First I drilled and cut open the scuppers and hawsers. This is where the first white cast iron parts come into use. Of course, they also had to be worked nicely first.

So we continue with the rudder bracket or rudder stand.

 

For this I had to drill more holes in the hull and I didn't feel comfortable doing it but what must be done must be done. Then I adjusted the rudder bracket.

 

I will glue it in like this later, the gaps will no longer be visible afterwards.

Hy Boss,

that kit is a very nice choise and you did a good job on the hull so far. I like the glasfibre reinforced hull with the rivet imitations

Thanks Nils. I'm glad you're looking in. The servo and the anti-roll keels are also attached. And the motor is in place too.
