I spent the last week building this kit from Hobby king http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...Kit_490mm.html here is what the kit should look like when your done

and here is what it looked like when I was done.


I found out that this is a copy of a kit called the swordsman and the model should look like this when done.


Needless to say none of these pieces are included in the kit from HK. I made the railing from 1/32 brazing rod, the hatch was made from scratch wood, the mast from aluminum flat bar & the cross from large crafting tooth picks, the windshield from clear plastic sheeting 5mm thick?, the flag pole from terriyaki skewers, the flag from manila folder & then laminated. I painted the hull in black but it would scratch easily so I used plasti-dip and added about 8 coats. Nice thick rubber coating.

This is the electronics I used

Here is how it turned out. It's my first kit build and allot of the parts I made from scratch so apologies for the build quality.

My Feedback: (5)

Not bad for a first build, have you put a motor in it?

I never knew there was such a kit from HK. Very nice and as you said, it looks like a Fairey boat, a 28' Huntsman to be precise. All black ones were used by SPECTRE in an old James Bond flick called "From Russia with Love"...
