Thread: german schnellboat

ok doke, i recieved this model in part exchange from a recent transaction, this model has lain dormant for a number of years apparently, needs TLC to get it back ship shape,

pics as follow.....

the above pics show the model as it was recieved, some very nice lines to the boat

just as an update i have started work on this hull, i have sanded down the various layers of paint/ primer on the hull. this has shown some parts of the hull that are needing repair, such is balsa construction. :)






incidentally if any one can give me any reference material on this model , whether it be the original model or some web based or book based info then please post below or pm me


the more info i have the better on this model the better. also propulsion on this model has been changed, orignally it had 3 screws , but as i have heard on ROBBE schnellboat designs, the model becomes very lean to when turning with all screws in operation, so i am looking at the possibility of just using 1 screw with a modified rc car motor running on "possibly" 12 cells. but just a thought just now.

any thoughts on this please post below.


i hope to update this thread on a weekly basis depending on funds and time available. :)

cheers guys

very kind of you to say so noobee, but i have only been interested in model boats for a couple of years , after building and racing model cars.

the fleet so far consists of......

robbe pt 15 oatrol boat, built from a kit by myself
perkasa 36 " long 1/32 scale torpedoe boat, nearing finnishing from a repaint .
graupner speedboat,nearing finnishing form building
hazel , can be seen on another thread,partial restoration .
the above model boat has been passed onto my brother who has taken a very keen interest in model boats, it`s nearly finnished, pic`s when done

also have....
1/8 scale pocher porsche 993
1/16th tamiya tiger tank
and my newest edition, the MGT monster truck, again pics in another thread.
