Sobre este barco

Hey folks, I know this subject has been done before but I thought I would share some images of a refurbishment I am undertaking of a 34” RAF crash tender (maybe Aerokits?). I am doing this one for a friend of mine and I picked up the boat about three weeks back. It wasn’t in terrible condition to start with but the paintwork and installation layout did leave something to be desired. The previous owner was also clearly a fan of milliput as well but this was not up to the job of holding the propshaft in as I discovered the hull filling with water when I floated it 🙂

So far I have:
Stripped the hull back to bare wood
Fully glassed the outside
Resin coated and painted the inside
Made new motor, battery and servo mounts
Reset the propshaft and rudder
Added new spray rails
Am building new cabin roofing
Primed the hull exterior (pics showing it fully painted were before I went to work on it with Paint stripper, which was a horrible task!)
Some of the hatches have been made
Cabin roofing painted
Have started repainting the hull

Will add more pics as it develops in the coming weeks…

    having said earlier this week that it would be November before I could test the crash tender, I managed to get out today. All was well and she stayed dry inside the hull… phew 🙂

    Well I think I am pretty much done now. It will be November some point before I am able to deliver her to my mate who owns her and asked me to do the restoration. At that point we hope for some decent weather for the test run and then I will post some video. Thanks for your interest so far folks!

    Whilst I am waiting for the paint to dry on the forward cabin roof 😴. I made the searchlight functional. A prewired smd micro LED (6v) from ebay drilled into the searchlight and fixed with CA glue. I will line the back of the light and the insides with self adhesive foil tape from a hardware store to act like a reflector.

    Added the roof and also the mast I made earlier in the refurb. Also made a few small cleats from glassfibre sheet which will ultimately help keep the RAF standard hoisted. I was going to try and make a folding mast but it all seemed a bit fragile so it is fixed instead.
