The ScaleSailing range of easy to
build kits
| |
| 'Pintail' |
|
A freelance lug
rigged cabin cruiser just 12" long!
designed by Graham McAllister
'Pintail' is for 2 channel
radio control, you control the rudder and the
sail position
just like the full size craft. One standard and
one micro size servos are used.
|
| |
Construction
is based on an
accurate ScaleSailing foam
core which you cover with thin
plywood panels to form the hull.
Most parts are laser cut for
accuracy and ease of use. The
cabin is built from 1/32" laser
cut ply panels and the deck is
laser etched with planking detail. |
 |
 |
Finished with clear
varnish the
plywood glows! The hull can be
clear varnished too or spray
painted as you see here. Masts
are wooden dowel. Rigging on the
'Pintail' is very simple, unclip one
line and pull the mast out for
transport, but Footy yachts easily
fit on a car seat fully rigged... |
|
Add
a dapper 1/24th scale figure* cut off at
the waist to complete the picture!
* not
included in kit but available on request
