Default missile gunboat

here are a few pictures of a ship I completed some yeears ago (complete with dust).

This is a model of a French Combatane II. It started as a kit but when I was done very little of the original kit remined.

This is model has many operating features including;

searchlight, running lights, fighting lights on the masthead and sternlight

sound effects include horn and battle stations whooper, both are very loud

the mast has two operating radars which turn at differnt speeds owing to a small belt drive

the forward three inch gun fires a black powder charge ignited by a glowplug. The barrel is spring mounted and recoils realistically.

the 4 boxes on the rear deck are exocet missile launchers which fire bottle rockets by radio control.
