Kit comes with clear resin for the bigger ones and "googly eyes" you cut the back off and they make the little lenses . Top left of picture with all the bits

Saw it on YouTube JD - was researching the larger 31" version of this kit and watched a couple videos on it. It's pretty interesting. Just need to get a little more colour variation on the boat

Is this the Masterpiece kit?
The effects looks great to me😎

I think about for a long time to get one, if I'm right it's also a bigger one on the market and I will take this

Yes Torsten - there's a much bigger 31" version they make with more details. There is also an interior kit made by rcsubguy which looks awesome. Expensive on both - but awesome

No choppa - this was us$99 plus freight . This one is solid resin with no interior. The bigger 31" is hollow for an optional interior- they would have cost me a grand delivered to Australia. Too big for what I wanted - just a kit for my movie stuff

Lol what is this? Self rusting paint? 🙂 I don't think I've seen such type of paint before.

Torsten - google nautilus drydocks for his details. Treehugger - exactly. Paint with iron filings . Paint it on and spray activator afterwards (vinegar works too) or do what I did and premix the two and just paint and wait .

Many THX😎 🙂
