I've found this boat in dust, on a shelf of a hobby store. It used to have an old and teared Graupner flag. I've put some accessories on it and give it to my wife as a gift. Please help me to identif this boat!!!

I think it's a Graupner Carina

Windows don't match.

Nice find.

Thanks

You are right, windows don't match and also the teared flag has a triangle shape or something like that. But, the other parts of the boat seems to be alike.
Is there any possibility that, some modifications have been made by Graupner during time. I'm saying this because, the parts of the boat that I have, looks originalto me , not changed by the pre-owner.

Maybe the builder customized it. The Carina is a discontinued kit. It used the same plastic hull as my Graupner Kitty; also discontinued. It looks like Graupner is still using the same hull on their Police/Fire boat:

Thanks.

It is a Graupner Nautic, i have one, first i thought it was a Carina, but on the cartoon it said "gaupner Nautic".

Thanks...

Do you know any related links or referances?

No, my boat was my uncles old, and it is about 35-40 years old.
here you got an Nautic on Ebay [link]http://cgi.ebay.at/Graupner-Nautic_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQitemZ110223908105[/link]
The Nautic is the same boat as Carina, It is the same hull, but the Nautic was manufactured before the Carina.
The only different thing is the windows.
excuse my bad english

Thanks again...

Can you upload som more pictures? That Nautic was really nice!!

Sure, but sorry about the quality of the pics

Nice with the lights! i think i also got to put lights on mine!!

How is the light "thing" build?I think i gonna take power from the reciever (5V). Do you use a resistance, to not burn the lights off?

Those are Robbe's 'Right of Way Lamp Set'. I made an extra circuit for them, 4,5 V. But I've also using similar systems for my other boats with 6V, inorder to use their batteries more efficient for longer drives.

In your case, it depends onthe V of the lights, but probably, speaking for 5V I think there will be no problem.

I think i gonna buy Graupner 3V 100ma lights(4). I will maybe put a restance on each lamp en use it on 5 V.

Don't forget the photos

I have alot to do yet, i got to paint the whole cabin, and stuffs like that, but it is going to be done before the summer. I am working on two other boats also[8D]

I'm also working on Revell's QM II... Hope to finish till summer

The lights is fixed now, I Use 4 Graupner 3V lights.
I have 5V from the reciever, so i made 2 circuits with 2 lights i each circuit. And after that i parallel coupled these circuits. Then the lights get 2,5V each.
Im still working on the boat. Some parts of the balsa-wood has dryed, after standing 30 years, unpainted in a attic.
