I have brought this model boat which is ok However I did not receive a complete kit for example there was no propeller and shaft or motor coupling and there was no stand for the boat included in the kit also there were no windows either which by other reviews these items were included in the kit. However maybe Mr Hobby King would like to send the rest of the kit that I purchased if he reads this review,, Hmm I wonder

Got mine very quickly and everything was in the box as described, well packaged as all my all Hobby King stuff seems to be. Quality of epoxy glass hull great, good finish inside and out but very slightly on the thin side. Laser cut ply parts were very good but needed slight adjustment with file on joints. Not a great task BUT in hindsight it was a good thing because I had to think before glueing. Main crutch needed sanding to get it below deck line and for main deck to fit flush with hull edges. This could catch beginner unawares, especially as instructions are basic. All the running gear parts were again excellent quality but what a shame Hobby King DIDNT include a motor to shaft coupling......shame on you HK. I used an old 400 brushed motor on 6 cells and it goes like a bat out of hell. I hate to think how fast it would go on the suggested motor/ cell set up......I could give it a go if HK send me some free samples.
Would I recommend it....Yes , its a bit on the small side but very pretty and easy to convert to one of the Fairey fast scale boats or use it as a slow river launch as sold. Good value for money and its only letdown was that I had to get my coupling and brushed FWD and Reverse ESC from another source.
