Island class coast guard patrol boat

[tlandauer]

I don't mean to dampen your enthusiasm, please don't take it the wrong way.

It's a pretty cool boat, but all the U.S. Coast Guard liveries in the front area are stickers, be aware that they are not vinyl, so my assumption is that it is far better as a display model if one wants to keep the stickers intact. The FG hull is first class though, very accurately molded and even laid up, also quite rigid. Mine is sitting pretty on the dinning room table at my Mom's.
The running gear is pretty low level as well, twin motors with nylon couplers . There is no water cooling but I suspect for prolonged scale runs these motors will heat up. I don't have an ESC as mine was a display model at the 2013 Shanghai's RC expo.
Unless they use higher grade stickers for retail, just to give you my observation.

tlandauer, on the contrary, I thank you for helping me out. I like the looks of this boat, wish I could find a wooden kit of this or similar Coast Guard Cutter.
