French coastal battleship "La Tonnere" (RC ship, boat)

cults3d

This is a printable model of the French battleship/monitor "La Tonnerre" a both rare and exotic model ship to build. At 1/100 she is over 70cm long, powered by one electric motor and one 9g servo, she is also a very cost effective model, but non the less a sight to behold when finished. Additional equipment such as lights, sound and smoke can all be added with ease, allthough it is recommended that you keep the superstrucure as light as possible, due to the top- heavy nature of the ship, which is true to the original ship, that almost rolled over when it turned while under full steam. The Turret is over 10cm in diameter and offers enough space to accommodate both a rotation mechanism and mini servor for changing the elevation of the two guns. This kit as usual includes everything you need to build your ship, The propeller, rudder, railing and guns are not included, because brass parts are better suited for these. The version of Tonnerre you are building here is the "as launched" version with the smaller breastwork and relatively simple bridge.
