That is a great build! I ballasted mine a bit deep initially, but overall she works well!

Yes, indeed.!! 1/96 HMS Fencer is a bit large to carry by one-man operation to get it back and forth between the sailing lake and home. She may be so-called a jeep carrier outdoors, but a gigantic carrier in my storage shelf like an USN super carrier.
  However, the jeep carrier of that size is well worth building at least once for a good memory of one-man-operation RC working carrier model, if possible. I really have experienced much good things concerning the scale RC model ship construction through this gigantic jeep carrier. The most difficult was not detailing works at all for me, but the overall balance in sailing the massive hull with a high freeboard which test may normally be carried out at the final stage of building when a modeller will encounter the difficulty to keep a good balance in sailing.  But I made it finally at last through many trials and errors tested on the water.  |

Naturally weathered hull does look more realistic as if she served in the Atlantic convoy operations for several months in WW2..!!
  Especially along the draught lines and freeboards, so realistic.!! |

And here's how she looked after spending several months in the pond....the duck poop is rather nasty on the hulls.

She's not an R/C - she spent the summer moored in the pond with my RMS Titanic model.
Here's some pictures from the launch and the summer. |
