I'd add mine as well, but it's not an Aerokits!   


It does have some DNA though as I did use the drawing as a basis.

Yours is a 1/12 scale Swordsman that is based on the Aerokits Swordsman drawings.  The Swordsman that I am building from scratch was based on the Aerokits Swordsman too - so I guess they both share the same DNA?


Both look remarkably like an Aerokits Swordsman and share exactly the same profiles.

Yeah, pretty close Bob, though I did change the shape of the coamings where they meet the deck to suit the raised rear cabin.

I have l neglected this 3/4 built project far too long and it really does deserve to be finished and performing in the water rather than gathering dust in my workshop (shed).


Why I have left this particular build so long is a mystery as it always has been my (first love) all-time favourite r/c model power boat…..but the Rapier that I restored performed so much better than expected- and then I took up the challenge of making a Sea Commander from a pair of part complete (delaminated) cabin sides that I was given…and then restored a Javelin (a Rapier without the cabin cruiser top), and …… the list goes on and on …..


With the Sea Commander now performing well each week I need to stop taking on any more restoration or new builds and finish off some of those that I have already started and left unfinished.


As the Javelin is so close to being finished, perhaps I should finish that one next, but then get one of the two Swordsman that I have part-build finished and in the water (where they will give me a lot more fun than they do in my workshop (shed)……..
