This is a pic I found of a Top fuel Hydroplane Dragboat, scale is unone. I'm not sure if it was a kit or a scratch built job, but whatever, it is very good!



This is some modeling that I could realy get into! Mainly Dragboats and Unlimited Hydroplanes. Does anyone know if any kits are available for these subjects?

Cheers now,

Garry

That may be Tim Pentecost's model and it is very nice.

Yes Cody, your right thats, Tim Pentecost's Top Fuel Drag Boat.

COOOOOOOL

SPEEDBOATS!!!
A Miss Budwieser would be quite a lengthy scratch build I think. Wouldn't you agree?..

Yes indeed I do agree! I used to race RC nitro powered Hydros. All of my boats were bought pre-made in kit form 1/8 scale. But a lot of the guys in the club scratch built there own boats, and there was some beauties! Since then I have been so involved with building military models that the boat bug fell behind. But I would still love to build some of these little gems in a smaller scale. Say 1/35 or 1/24 .

Gary,
The old Monogram Miami vice speedboat is approx. 1/36 scale. I used one to kitbash/scratch a
Tunnel Hull speedboat aka SpeedKat. The construction is complete, but I lost interest and did not
finish the deed. I was thinking of doing the colors in a Coor's Silver Bullet motif. Chrome or silver front with Blue rear portion and Red Coor's Logo.
Oh the Brain cells we waste. LOL
