some great boats there so far.

i found an article on model boats website that refers to a scale navy club that exhibited at dortmund with bits of a 1/48 uss enterprise (not the beam me up scotty one)

i seem to remember seeing a video on tinternet of this vessel being launched from a trailer on a slipway and being sailed but cannot find it now.

is it just me or does this ring any bells with anyone else
