Well, it looks boat-shaped, and a lot of the bits I'd expect to see on a boat seem to be present, and there are some 'leftovers' too. Some of the bits are in an envelope postmarked 1953! There's a few broken and missing bits but it's not a bad start...

First thoughts:

- it's been nailed together with tiny tacks! That's going to make painting/getting a smooth finish interesting

- the rudder is very stiff, and any linkages that might have once been connected to it are now sealed inside the rear seating/deck area. I don't think the original builder wanted a functional model else why?

- the prop and shaft are long gone, so will need to replace all that

- it's going to need a lot of paint and filler!

- plus motor, servo, radio, battery, etc.

Should be a lot of fun! :)
