I just picked this up on clearance at Hobby Lobby for $10 and figured i’d give it a shot. What does motorized action do exactly considering it isn’t remote controled? Just travel in a straight line?
Yeah,basically.
Still…it is a neat little kit.With some creativity it builds into a nice replica.
Post pics when you can.Looking forward to following your progress.
Yeah, it pretty much travels in a straight line, unless you turn the rudder to make it go in circles. As i recall, the diving fins are weighted, which drives the boat under the water, at which point a ‘periscope’ with a vane on it acts as a lever to bring the dive fins up again, thus resurfacing the boat, and this ‘dive and surface’ action continues until the battery runs out, or you get bored…
Thanks guys! This one will be on the back burner for awhile i have several kits ahead of this one.lol I primarily build sci fi and armor so this will be a big change!lol
