Happy Days !
I have just received the following three hulls from Christian http://www.mtbhulls.co.uk/home
Ordered Wednesday evening from Gibraltar delivered Monday lunch time !
They are from top to bottom Fairmile D, Fairmile B & Elco 77 in 1/72 (available in other scales)
To say I’m pleased would be understating it. I would like to make the following comments ( I will point out that I have no connection)
Quality
Excellent, there are minor flaws but 20 mins with filler and sandpaper will sort it. The dark line along the deck edge is due to the fact that it’s a fibreglass deck and will be covered by rubbing strake. The hulls ‘feel’ solid, Christian says he can build lighter for Radio Control.
Price
Very good value especially when you take advantage of Christians discount for three hulls plus postage saved.
A lifetimes desire to build a range of coastal forces has now become a realistic proposition with Christians hulls, plus Coastal Craft http://www.coastalcraftmodels.com/ & Great Little Ships fittings available from https://www.whiteensignmodels.com/ and http://www.hannants.co.uk/
Cheers Kev
