Can anyone identify this please
« on: November 28, 2015, 04:02:45 pm »

Hi, just purchased this model. It looks like a Chris craft type replica model. I thought it was a Graupner constellation, but its not. Its approx. 22 1/2 inches long and 8 3/4 wide. It has twin prop shafts and it looks like the couplings are billings. type. The hull is plastic. Thankyou  :-)

Hi, it has two Decaperm motors fitted. Very nicely made. Don't think its ever been on the water. Slightly different cabin to the Commadore. I shall take and upload a few more photos later today. Thankyou  :-)
