Model Boats | March 2016
We have a Gallery with a difference in this issue as it features the outstanding craftsmanship of George Zio and his waterline model of HMAS Vendetta, an Australian destroyer on which he proudly served during the Vietnam War. This model is truly an exceptional example of the model maker's craft.
Michael Watts completes his upgrading of the L’Intrépide r/c yacht, demonstrating techniques equally applicable to many of the other ready to run models coming into the marketplace nowadays and Eris Kennedy converts the 1:200 scale ten inch long Heller kit of the tug Jean Bart to full radio control.
In Readers' Models, Bill Burtwell has built an alternative version of Glynn Guest's Vivace plan and Andy Cope describes his unique radio controlled and moveable lighthouse, based on a £5 polystyrene cone from an out of town retail park hobby shop.
Flotsam & Jetsam looks at three submarines named Nautilus and in Boiler Room, Richard Simpson discusses the art of bending and making nice pipework. BMPRS News has some spectacular pictures of high speed i.c. craft and so hopefully there is something for everyone in this latest issue of your favourite model boating magazine.
