hi! just wanted to share my current build, a semi-scale offshore patrol boat, based initially on a 40M vosper design on 1:50 scale, but i readjusted the scale so that it will become a 72m offshore patrol boat on a 1:72scale (to match with my 1:72 tamiya PT-15). it's 1meter long, 15cm wide. 2-mini jet drives from graupner, 2 540 motor power. i might use my 6 channel radio on this for it to have the reverse bucket.
i am currently working on the superstructure, and since its not really based on anything now, im a bit clueless on the mast.
here's some pics, hope you'll like it.

Very neat boat. Good Job

twin mini's actually look perfect. However I dont understand the transom. Probably already thought of independent reverse buckets, it could do anything then. Superstructure looks good.

a little progress on the ship. just installed the deck and redesigned top mast.
QS, i actually take the jets further out.

lookin good, to explain, imagine never having seen the boat and looking at the photo's. The transom pic just looks ambiguous. Cant tell what I'm seeing.

nice boat mate that hulls gonna fly with two 540 motors in it i built my son a 32" higgins boat from balsa and epoxy and it flies with a 540 and a nimh pack 7.2 v.we had it on a nicad pack and speed was scale see atached video but we switched to nimmh and this thing if anything is too fast and we have now installed water cooling to overcome over heating.

made some little progress.
the superstructures shaping up, but lacks details. i'm still looking for some nice ideas about how to detail this boat
hopefully i can test run it soon, and pray that it runs nice.
