Vosper MTB 77
David Atkins:
Hello, having just registered with Model Boat Mayhem I now look forward to chatting and sharing ideas.
I am currently building the Italeri Vosper MTB77 and will also be converting it to RC
with 2 motors driving 2 props, this is my first attempt although I have built many airfix type kits for my kids and grandkids.
Yes the actual boats had 3 engines but I felt this unnecessary on my model.
So far from opening the box I have nearly completed the deck and will soon start on the hull and electrics etc.
Am thinking to use geared motors MFA Torpedo 500 ratio 50:1 with 3 blade propellers either 20 or 25mm.
If anyone has comments, good or otherwise I am keen to listen.
David Atkins:
Sorry forgot to post pics of build so far.
Top sides nearly finished, next up is the hull with all the electrics and working bits.
