I have seen these Gungze Sangeyo kits go for as high as £350.
Tried to get one for £150 once, but it had a high reserve on it. The
seller relisted it and sold it for  £250

They were coming out of Korea regularly for a year or two, but have since stopped.

I did get copies of the auction pictures... ::)

At that price, its getting pretty close to one of the RTR foils from Scalespeed http://www.scalespeed.com/rhs_en.htm  :D

Has anyone bought a boat from Scalespeed?

I fancy the 'BABOCHKA Soviet Hydrofoil Warship'.  Something that's fast with detail to scare the pants of the sedate scale modellers at the local pond.

Hi Mogsy
 I got on off the scalespeed hydrofoils they are fantastic. However the Babochka will cost you an arm and a leg it has about 6 motors and is special order only.

Must be those 24-kt gold props & impellers they use  {-)  ::)

Actually I can't get a reply from Mr. Tang & am starting to think its some virtual model company.

Like anyone outside of his home province has been able to get pricing information...  :-\
At least I haven't been successful...

Had to try to build my own...
As for success, .... still working on that too.. ::)

Umi,

How is the build going? Would love to see some internal shots of her to see how she is made up. Any success on the water yet?

Surprisingly, no!  Ran well on first set up!
It's "nicely" over powered with 7.2 or 8.4 volts and a 540 and it's very light so makes for a good craft.
