Perkasa

She certainly does plane. Looking good. I'm just in the process of starting my Perkasa. Are you able to share your plans, perhaps??? Really need somewhere to start.:strong:

looking very nice. is that a fiberglass hull on that one ? i have 2 wooden ones and they will plane but not that well due to the weight of the batteries (ones 6 volt the others 12 volt).

The Perkasa is a very popular model I still have 2 unstarted kits which will hopefully become Brave boarder and Brave swordsman as for the plans not a problem if you pm me your address I will get them photo copied and sent of to you they are not full size but it is not a problem I will also copy the build instructions for you it has a history and pictures of the brave class

Hi squirrel no what you are seeing is the wooden version in my opinion the fiberglass hulls from precedent are rubbish because the molding is terrible all the kits I have seen the hulls are so misshapen that they require way to much work on them to get them to perform .just opinion

Are the photos you posted up of yours?

Andy:regards:

Hi I saw a picture of a Fairmile D with them on and I just thought that the shape on the bow of the Perkasa would suit it nicely so I tried and I feel that it did I think some purists would disagree but for me I like it and its my boat lol:grinball2:

The two you have posted up are the Vosper 103ft fast patrol boat the kit was made by Veron heres a couple of pics of mine with a twin screw conversion.

I painted the deck green and the discovered that it should be bleeched beach

the forward gun is a copy of the 24 scale Perkasa and is out of scale with the boat but it is directional and fires water at the shows kids love it :grinball2:

Hi Andy

Your table has nothing on it apart from your model

The torpedo system on the sub should be ready for testing next weekend

we will have to take somemore photos

Can we rig the your perkasa up so the bow pokes out of the water for the photo shoot will look good with a bit of smoke as well to add to the scene .
