[QUOTE=ivorthediver;10070176]Hi and welcome to the Forum . Don't know the subject matter but can see that you have spent a lot of time and hard work on her Is she R/C and how did she sit in the water please[/QUOTE] Hi no she is not remote control and to be honest I never had her in the water I made her purely for display at home. She was one of three ex Royal Navy corvettes purchased for the Irish Navy in 1946, the other two were "Cliona and "Maeve" the Macha was anchored in Galway Bay when President Kennedy visited Ireland in 1963, she was HMS Borage in the Royal Navy.

Shame ......she is a very good subject for conversion and would [with a little ballast ]sit well in the water Like most I did a flower class from a kit and bought the running gear to scale and it proved to be a great lakeside model with two channel R/C kit in
