I found this photo in an old Family Album, this is of the very first model, back in 1980, powered by a 540 and 8cells, no Speed controller, just an on/off switch, very hairy starts! I used to finish my models very well then, seem to have lost my touch now.She stayed in the family for years, finally being sold to my Grandson, (now 35) and the boat is in her Transport  Box on top of the spare room wardrobe, waiting until his son is old enough to drive her.
 The photo was taken by a friend of my son, with a very good camera and lots of Talent!! He is now a Professional Motor Sports photographer.He was 17 when he took this shot.


Very pretty, lovely paint job. Good photography as well, small quick boats hard to shoot!
