I have two sailing (America’s Cup) hulls in my possession, picked them from the dead storage of an R/C shop in Lebanon when i was a regular visitor.

I wanted to get them a keel and sail kit but couldn’t find any easily accessible, so they are gathering dust in the attic. they are made of fiber glass (will confirm details if anyone shows interest), very well balanced, as they are empty now they float completely upright. adding the keel, battery, mast and servos would have to be done by the book to maintain balance of course.

the only issue is that the hulls don’t have any markings, so i don’t know the model number in order to get the appropriate kit, i guess whoever would want to take advantage of them should know his way around R/C sail boats. no sure also about their size, but tip to transom they are possibly a smidgen over 65cm, maybe a bit more.

if anyone is interested let me know, i would love if someone who knows his way around them takes advantage of at least one of them….

The owner, Nawaf Al-Abdulrazak, is among the few who can actually guide you on troubleshooting problems with most rc gadgets. And the coolest thing is the guy will not try to sell you stuff that is not required unlike others! his technical know how is impresive and if you have ever competed in rc races, chances are you have already met him and have most likely never beaten him. He does have skills

Nope, the only model ships I’ve seen are the ones at Tamiya.

Did they have any model kits for tall ships (sailing Ships), checked out the ones at the Tamiya Store, it was all plastic. I remember before ’1990′ i used to buy them at Salmiya and at Muthanna, they were quite reasonable and wooden.

Lost the entire collection, and never seen any kit here after that till now

Adel: I got some smoke paint but yeah I should probably try it on a piece of glass or something before I attempt it on the lexan
