Hi Rich, I have taken a few photos of the build of Blakeney to give an idea of the construction technique, Most of my kits use the same system. Hope this helps.

Quite similar to the EezeBilt style from the 60s then Paul - look like nice kits at a reasonable price - pity Im a bit far way.........

Don’t let that stop you, ive sent RC aircraft kits to South Africa,

I've sent shoestring kits to Spain and USA, last week i sent a pilot launch and stand to Australia so i can't see South Africa being a problem.

Try sending things to Brazil as we did - would have about the same luck with SA. We don't send our kits via post internally - use couriers as they tend to get lost along the way......... Martin from Westbourne Models had already stopped sending to SA in 2010 because of that sort of problem. One club out here had an arrangement with an airline pilot (also a modeller) - ensured delivery. The other problem being that postage to here is much more expensive than to Oz - so its no longer a reasonable kit...........and an exchange rate of18/1 makes it expensive anyway..........

ok, thanks for the heads up

I finally managed to paint the model and get it on the water. She sails and maneuvers really nicely but is overpowered with motor i fitted. I reduced the power to 45% on my dual rate and she is now perfect, very pleased
