Title: Help Identifying Model
Post by: raflaunches on December 13, 2020, 11:32:45 am

Good morning everyone


My mate from Manchester who works with me at Brize was left a completed model boat and since he knew I build
Model boats has asked for help modernising the electrics which isn’t a problem. I recognise the model (possibly) but for all the tea in China I can’t find it on the internet. Does anyone else recognise the model and what kit (if it is a kit of course!) it could be. It looks like it could be called ‘Audacious’ or ‘Audacity’.
Any ideas most gratefully received. :-))

If this is a competition - my guess is a modified version of a Nordkap

The port of registry is LT: Lowestoft but the name and number don't seem to tally with that from a quick look online.

Hi everyone


I’m guessing that’s it’s not a real number for the vessel, it could be a modified Nordkap but until he brings it to work in the new year I won’t know if it’s a billings style model or not.
Martin- what’s L & B? Forgive my ignorance  :-))

I should have guessed :embarrassed:  I was thinking of a company with those letters! {-)
Not sure as he has it at his house at the moment and will be bringing it down in the New Year for my inspection.
It’s infuriating as it looks so familiar but I could be wrong- it’s been known! If he tells me I will post the dimensions.
