Well after a lot of re search and unable to fine a kit to build, I went the ready to run route  :-))  and very happy I am with it as well.

Does the daughter boat run? And does it include the launcher and capture mechanism for it?

Comes fitted with 3 x 550 motors,s steel prop shafts and all brass prop, rudder servo and door open close servo, plus bow thruster.(all motors removed as up grading to brushless) :-))


The big surprise for me was the wheel house and mast, all fitted with led lighting inc a switcher unit(and very neatly installed) which operates from a switched channel on the receiver.


The water cannon is also available to be converted for use, but is fix for spray over the bow, not sure yet if I will have it working.


I will be up grading the boat over the next month, and i hope to have this done by Easter for sea trials.
Photo attached is from a web site in Germany as I have already removed my drive motors and shafts.

Just be mindful of those shafts, they maybe mild steel and prone to rust. Keep them   WELL  lubricated!

This model certainly got a lot of attention on our LBES stand at the recent Brighton Model World - here with its proud owner!
