I have a DeBoer Skipjack Submarine 1:48 that has been approximately 80% completed. I was gifted this sub a couple of years back from the neighbor of a deceased master model builder and although I and my kids are fascinated with it, I'm never going to get around to finishing it.
There are bags of parts and you can see from the pictures that the majority of the work has been completed. There is no motor or drive batteries included, all other hardware seems to be included, including 4 servos and a receiver,but no Transmitter. I was told the motor was out for modification at the time of passing and so was never returned.
I'm asking $200 as is. New the kit runs $625.
I can provide specific pictures showing other aspects or more detail for anyone who is interested.
I am located in Murrieta, about 1hr from san Diego, CA should anyone be local thats interested.
Here is a detail list pulled from the kit link which is provided below:
Details
DeBoer Hulls model faithfully capture the detail and hull lines of the real Sculpin. She is still classified today, but available plans, and numerous pictures were studied to gather every last detail possible. Our model has all the torpedo tubes and torpedo loading doors molded in. Top deck detail is painstakingly scribed and molded to show vents, safety track and other details. The sail is rich in detail as well, with every inspection hatch, water-tight door and windows in place.
The main hull separates into upper lower halves to make R/C installation easy as possible. The hull halves are held together with a unique system whereby the screws are recessed under the escape hatches, giving a no compromise realism to the buttoned-up model! Hull construction is laid up using mat and cloth to give the most durable hull possible. 10 built-in bulkheads give the hull a superior dimensional stability. Wall thickness is .080 or thicker, with a beautiful gel coat adding smoothness to the hull. The dive planes are solid molded resin with brass shafts. The 4 periscope shears are also molded resin and vented so you can attach air vent lines for your ballast tanks. The prop and stuffing box are brass, as well, with a stainless steel prop shaft.
The 1/48 Scale DeBoer Hulls Sculpin is 63 inches in length and has a beam of 8 inches, allows plenty of room and accessibility to make R/C installation as easy as possible.
As each kit is custom manufactured to order, please allow 5 to 7 weeks for delivery.
