I have had this model a while and cannot remember the make or the ship but it is a kit. It has been converted to RC with brass prop shaft and prop, micro servo and speed controller. I have got rid of many models to make room for others but forgot about this, I then decided to have a goo look and see if she still floated and worked. Did a tank test (bath) and all was well, no leaks. I then changed an old 40Mhz receiver to a 2.4 receiver and powered her up...SHE MOVED AND STEERED! Needs ballast adjusting slightly, but here she is, my little RC fuel ship.

I have both the B1 American truck and the B24 Russian Gaz from the Heng Long truck series. Last week I decided to start on the Gaz. Total strip down, primed, latex added and then top coat, once dry scrapped the latex off to show patches and then re-weathered to tone down. Wood added to rear and benched added, other items added to outside, interior cab all painted and windows added, rear lights added. Original electrics ripped out and a servo added for the steering, rewired the drive motor and added a speed controller and receiver so she now works on proportional 2.4 without the all on or all off. Turned out rather well. https://preview.ibb.co/evicmx/P1013017.jpg https://preview.ibb.co/jwPTtc/P1013018.jpg https://preview.ibb.co/ipa1Dc/P1013019.jpg https://preview.ibb.co/d6AZYc/P1013021.jpg https://preview.ibb.co/gexEYc/P1013020.jpg https://preview.ibb.co/bZMKzH/P1013023.jpg https://preview.ibb.co/j4C3Rx/P1013025.jpg https://preview.ibb.co/eKUiRx/P1013027.jpg https://preview.ibb.co/nwMmeH/P1013028.jpg https://preview.ibb.co/bHSReH/P1013029.jpg Si:)

Thanking you, a simple paint scheme but worked better than I thought and am pleased with look. Don't say that Vince...although when I took these pics there was ice on the ground, hence not loads of piccies...too cold

Many thanks, glad you like it.

This is my Henglong P-IV, upgraded with metal gearboxes, sprockets, idlers, tracks. Total repaint with accessories.

Thank you Vince, time consuming but simple weathering, just took my time.

Ta Vince, enjoyed making these little items, always fun and a stress free way to model-well for me anyway

I commented on this yesterday but it seems to have gone! I too love this model, great scratch making and detail.

UPDATE: Mounted the rear MG, added the aerial, some ammo cans and a satchel inside, barbed wire, net and helmet on the outside and added some more weathering. I also added some smoke discharges-I know they didn't have them fitted but, you never know

I got this 21st century Hanomag (not cheap!) as I always wanted one and although it slightly smaller than the 1/16 stuff it will fit well on tank days, was looking at RCing it, but after some thought decided against it. Repainted parts and then weathered with added detail (I still have some other detail parts to add but apart from that I am happy with it.

This is another scenery piece, a BMW motorcycle and sidecar combo. I repainted this and added some bits and wanted a more weathered look. Si:)

Barrier, sentry box is still in production

Some used shell casings for recycling, Panzerfausts and shells is boxes.

Metal obstacles.

I have not been on much due to my disability, also the weather has meant not a lot of work in the workshed. However, I have managed some 1/16 scenery items for our RC tank days. I made, out of spares from the bit box a small fuel storage container, this will be housed next to a maintenance bay that a other member has made. Si:)

Okay Steve, will get the other up for you.

Hi Steve, they are on Google photos. Has this worked Steve?...pic below.

I posted the pic of them side by side to show the size of the thing lol. I thought about doing it in the usual Tiger camo style but decided that it was an early experiment so was in Panzer grey Well, that is my excuse and I'm sticking with it

Hi Vince, I have had computer issues and things have been all over the place. Nope, non existed...well non that has been found I saw a P-III munitions carrier and a Hummel with the armoured sides but no gun and had been converted into a munitions carrier and thought I would marry the two and create a Tiger version.

Here are some fancy shots Si:)

I have been working on this for sometime. It is a Taigen metal lower hull and top hull section with a scratched made top section and crane, I made some scratch made items for inside, the portable generator and storage cupboards. It is all RC. Si:)

Photobucket have stopped me from downloading to third party sites and I will not pay the silly money they are after. Will find something else in time, sorry that you cannot see the pics.

Yep...they got me. I don't think so, will be looking elsewhere. Sorry about that guys.

Sorry Pete I can see the pics and the links worked...obviously FB have stopped them working.

This is my Italeri 1/35 MTB 77 that has been converted to RC. Three brass prob shafts and props with three motors two 300 and one 400 for the central prop. Two speed controllers, a Robbe motor to turn the gun turret. The top is attached by magnets. Si:)
