Hi All, I recently got hold of a second Scout Class Cruiser at a reasonable price.
)I do not know how old the model is but it was bit dilapidated and somebody had already had a go at restoration which seemed to involve removing most of the wiring for the lights and smoke generator. I spent a bit of time and money on it, gluing bits back on, fixing the rudder servo properly and sorting out the wiring and was very pleased to see it perform well on its first sailing for me.
I think it might be a Deans Marine kit but it came on a stand that said 'HMS Pathfinder', 'Senital (yes not Sentinal) Class', 'Scout Cruiser'.
A quick look on the internet showed that most of that is inaccurate as Pathfinder was a class, as was Sentinal and as far as can see all Scout Class Cruisers except one had one mast not two and the two masted one had four funnels not three. So the dilemma is should I chop off the second mast to be more accurate or leave, what is quite a nice model, as it is and just call it a Scout Class Cruiser. Any thoughts anybody? Cheers, Graham
