70ft MGB re build


What started as a simple upgrade to brushless motors has wound up being a strip down and rebuild. Going for the realistic look. Pics with 64 are before the strip down. Hull and deck finished, fittings next then reassemble

Yes they are Steve, well spotted. Never seen it before on a model so thought why the hell not. Some may like it some may not and that goes for the weathering as well. I've moved on from glass case models and on to realistic look, thanks for your interest.

This model is built on a semi kit by Me with fitting now available from Mountfleet models and Battlecraft.

Hi Tim
The pond was purpose built as a yacht pool of even depth, constructed way back in 1928 by George Cadbury . I believe it to be 600ft x 300ft at its widest point.
