Hi all, I think this is one of the oldest Graupner kits on the market.  It has been on sale since 1974 and I believe it was the first kit with a ready made ABS hull.  I have one in the making. 
It is quite difficult to visit a model boat show without seeing one.  I take photos of the various conversions I have seen, but some how my PC has swallowed most of them and so have lost a few, but they keep turning up!
regards Roy
