AHHH HA HA , thanks Capt I was like man that’s an awesome Revel model, while I am no slouch I never remembering them looking that good even with special parts. Funny stuff I am still laughing, thank you for the correction sir.

There are MANY widths, go to a good watch repair dude and tell him the dimensions.

Sorry no pics of that model

Gentlemen !

As can be seen above from an earlier post, I had to sell the model ( the pic is of a real dustoff ).( I WISH I could build like that ! )

Thats a great idea Tim! ok I'll look for some of those, thanks guys for your help.

Man those look great!

I only pointed it out because it got me too......The whole time I was thinking, where can I get a watchband that looks like that....

D

San Jose Flea Market !

Looking very good. Ihave a version from a different company and have used the jet drives they supply. goes like the proverbial of a shovel. great fun to play with.

Still working on some details, just got the jet drives in so now have to cut holes in hull

Amazing detail as always Jeff. I have just bought a set of plans for this boat. What you are doing will be a great help for the future build. Is the bender you used to form the wheel the one from Micro Mark? It seems to do a nice job.

Thanks Gravman,

Yes that is the Micro Mark, works pretty good wish it had some sort of a gripping action for the tubbing thou you kinda have to force it thru the grooves to get it going, but for the small stuff it works good, worth the cost!

Hey the plans you got are they for a scratch build with the hull?

Jeff, yes they show hull lines and all you would need to build one of these boats. Three sheets. They show a 50 cal mounted on the stern. There are 4 photos on the plans too. One shows a large light mounted to the starboard side of the forward turret. I guess this was used to throw some light on the target. If you would like I can mail these to you for this build and when you are finished just send them back.

Thanks Gravman, ya if you could please let me borrow them. I will PM you.

This is a truly AWESOME build , very inspiring, I just started building rc sailboats, but you have sparked my interest. Thanks Mike

Thanks mg,

I wasn't to interested in this boat either but now I want one for myself it is going to be a pretty neat little boat.

Got some gauges made up and the jets in place.

Excellent work !

Those are great little tubing cutters, use mine frequently but have never made bezzles ...
