Medway Queen model boat ready for remote control, scratch built all wood

Medway Queen model boat ready for remote control, scratch built all wood. The Medway Queen is a very well known boat, it was used in Dunkirk and made a total of 7 trips, the last of which it was mistakenly reported sunk. When the restoration was completed, my grandad went to the dock to see it and took a lot of photographs. He then set about making this model.

There is an envelope included with the item with the plans and templates that he drew out by hand. There are a load of his notes on the build process and the materials used the model is made of recycled doors, cupboards and other wooden items lying around the house at the time! It is an incredibly detailed model that is ready for remote control.

The paddles can be connencted to motors if the shafts are swapped for longer ones (all written down in my grandads notes) and the hull is marked ready for drilling for props. The rudder is fitted with servo ear. Dimensions (approx) 41" long, 13" wide, 20 tall (top of mast). Ranging from small antique boats at 14 inch length up to roughly 55 inches. There are tugs, sailing boats, galleons, barges, warships, paddle steamers, etc.

They were built by my late grandfather who was ex RAF (Dambusters sqn) and a master craftsman. Sadly it's time to start clearing the collection as I can't possibly enjoy all the models at once, let alone store them! This listing is for the boat pictured above. Cash on collection welcomed from ME7 1XF.

Or I can arrange for them to be taken to ME13, ME1 or CM0 postcodes if that helps. If you are an enthusiast, it might be worth a visit as I'm sure you would enjoy seeing the collection as a whole.
