A bit of a departure from my normal fare this one.

I’ve long wanted to build a model completely from scratch, working from original drawings and photos. I’ve also wanted to build something substantial and radio controlled and this is the result.

It’s very much a work in progress and is currently on hold due to my health problems, but I’ll get back to it as soon as I can.

The CAD model is 95% complete with only some tweaks to the starboard sponson required. I’ve only just started on the manufacturing drawings so they are 5-10% complete.
