| RJ you will find her on page 6 in the Gallery of www.warshipmodelsunderway.com Check page 13 for a similar sized Graf Spee. No peep-holes, I`ve got sit with my head up out the aft hangar lift but can duck down out sight for limited periods. Cheap CCTv with monitor would handy for steering while filming etc. The Sea Harriers are 1/24 th Airfix kits modified, Sea Kings are scratch-built. The site dedicated to these large models is http://groups.msn/MannedModelShips More on www.pmbdt.co.uk If anybody knows of any more let us know. Edit;The msn link doesnt seem to be working,try it without capitals or Google search.

| Yep Bunkie, mostly local, havent been south of the border for a couple of years. Got side-tracked a bit with other things. Flying AP models mostly. If anybody has fat wallet I might flog it. Too old to be arsed. Dont ask the price, waiting for a rich Arab sheik !

| | Scale Model Member | This is the one that started life as a half hull promotional vessel on a flat bed trailer for the Royal Navy recruitment drive isn't it ??.
I've seen her up at the Portsoy festival and she is HUGE. Hope to see her again.

| The very same Davie. Havent even been to Portsoy recently even though it is in my backyard nearly.( compared to the requests to take it to Portsmouth or Plymouth etc) Nice event, traditional boats have that something about them, good crack in the harbourside pub too ! Are you with the local model boat club with the swimming pool, cant remember it`s name ? | |

| | Scale Model Member | I'll be joining the Tarlair MBC once i've got my first trawler model ready to sail ( thats the club at MacDuff ). Do you still store her at the Museum of Flight ?? That was really my back yard up till a few years ago. I used to live in Longniddry only a few miles away.
As for what the mini-ship's worth ( well its hardly a model "scale" is it lol ) if people can get £500+ for "large r/c" boats of 48" on Ebay then you should be able to buy a house lol.
