forgot to add the rc system uses a 'v'tail mix, one stick controls both motors, forward and reverse both motore or one motor outside of turn inside stopped or as above wth the inner in reverse, that together with the bow thruster allows for static spins.
The lights work and the radar turns.
The origin of the name, a connection sort of with Jules Verne they were both science fiction writers, Jules Verne was painted mahogany brown to copy 30's vintage yachts, i preferred something more notable hence white.
The kit was bought from a model shop adjacent the Dutch shipyard who constructed the full size version, and the guy who commissioned the full size yacht also wanted a model, the shop had just started construction of said model when the guy lost his money, everything stopped. The original was then taken over by an American, she was finished and now rests in Los Angeles.
My model is purely of fiction.
A throughly enjoyable but hair tearing experience as I took the hull back to just the drive systems being installed.
I now look forward to the Moonraker build, obviously with a different name although still Bond connected! ; - ))
