Memorial Day RC boat float
I went to my second "RC boat float" at the local RC scale model boat club float.
http://www.pmpba.org/ I brought PT-323 out to terrorize the sea lanes  . I sailed in my first course navigation competition . I did okay for someone who had no idea what to do.  My entry.   1/72 scale Bismarck! Hope you like big models!       Steam powered paddle boat!

More boats:
   IJN Minekaze.  Being a PT-Boater, I felt it was my obligation to chase this around the pond. Sadly, the owner only sailed her for about 5 minutes and my on board camera had died. So no videos of trop attacks on Jap tincans. PT-323 in hot pursuit!   USS New Jersey   oooh, look what I found, my next project!

Great pictures, Jason. Thanks for sharing.
I like the sailer. As I told you on the phone, my friend Rocky once build an RC trireme. The motor actually drove a cam that made the oars work properly.

Great shots Jason, reminds me of when I was in the hobby about 25 years or more ago.

That is some great stuff Jason. Your PT boat looks fantastic!
Is that a functioning forward deck gun on the Minekaze?

Wonderful to watch. I have an unbuilt New Jersey scale 1:350. That just await to be build. Every parts that had to be painted is painted.
I wish a division of those 4 battleship Iowa class in scale 1:200. But they are hard to find. But I really doesn't have the money to buy them I have my dream to fulfill. Markus |
