    RTR Revell Gato 1:72

    I have been given The Ultimatum by Her Indoors that after blowing vast sums of money on a DJI Drone I have to get rid of a couple of submarines.

    My Gato is one that has to go. It's a lovely boat, built and painted by David Merriman. It comes with one of David's wooden boxes and a Sub-driver. I think a couple of antenna are missing, but I always found them to be a weed magnet. (Easily replaced with some styrene strips)


    Next is a 1:96 Skipjack GRP hull, built and painted by Mr Merriman. Comes with a Sub-driver and wooden box. Futaba radio RTR. I already have a 1:72 Moebius Skipjack so this has to go. This boat really hot in a pool, fast with tight turns, more like a dolphin in the water.

    Let me know if you're interested and we can talk 'turkey'.
    Stop messing about - just get a Sub-driver!

                    Hi Mike,

                    Don't need photographs. I'm travelling tomorrow for three weeks and I want to get this wrapped up now if I can. PM me of send a phone number that I can call to discuss.

                      Scott, he posted the number already.
                      If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.

                        Yeh, its his office number. I've called three times but he's a very difficult man to get hold of. Calling for Australia is a pain in the arse as well - its almost mid-night here and I'm about to turn into a fairy. Standby.. got him. gotta go and talk.

                          Good grief! I'm a tosser! Haven't looked here in a while, posted stuff, then left it in the lurch. I must have contracted something from HWSNBN.

                          Well, sorry folks.

                          Update

                          Skipjack is sold.

                          Gato - at the advise of HWSNBN is $1500. Comes with HWSNBN wooden carrying box, and Sub-driver.

                          Pictures later

                            The boat is in great overall condition, few marks on the hull, painted by Mr. Merriman.

                            I don't have a sub-driver for it, but this gives you a change to go for the 2.4ghz dynamic diver or the SAS System.

                            $900 takes the model.

                              Ok! I'm open to offers! Hit me with a number, but just remember HWSNBN is watching, so don't **** him off! :-)
