Hi Darryl and welcome to the club.  

There is a picture of the Banckert under model tugs on Mayhems front page. This is a popular model and some members have built her. I'm sure someone will step in with some build pictures for you

Regards

ken

ps   if you do a search on the Main Front page of Mayhem  (before the forum section) you will come up with 9 suggestions

I build it when I was around 14. (many years ago  ) The kit was from Billings Boat and it had just been released with the ABS hull.

For propulsion I used a 540 / 12V  type motor run on a 6V/3Ah Sealed Lead Cell it gave many hours of sailing time on one charge.

I still have it, but it needs a need cell and some serious TLC.
