What is it??? please help
 

Hi wise ones.... I found this at a local market and thought it was too cool to pass up so I bought it. Problem is I cant find out any information on it.
It is in great condition and assume its early 80's and has a MVV 6.6 czech made glow engine. It is around 2ft long
Any help would be great!http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/atta...mentid=2065827 can post more pics if it will be hlpfull

Judging from the "BP" sticker and MVVS engine its probably of European origin, is it fiber-glass or thermo-formed plastic?

Thanks - its formed plastic but the hull is fiberglass. I will post more pics tonight after I clean it all up. It also appears to have a fast fuel tank filler on the side so I am assuming it was used for racing. Hoping to have it running tonight after I clean the carb. Compression is very good so will be an interesting project to restore. Would you call it an Air Boat or a Swamp boat? I am in Australia and no one here has seen anything like it. Thanks in advance

Its a regular "Air boat","Swamp boats" have a flat bottom to go anywhere in the bayou!

Sometimes that plastic gets brittle with age. I would take it easy if you get it running.

Or use the plastic as a mold for a fiberglass replacement before the plastic breaks.

Got it up and running and the engine runs perfectly. looks even better cleaned up. Only planing to give it one run and then add it to my collection. Would love to find out what its worth but cant find anything the same online

Love the old dry cell battery in the box.
