One of the reasons for the problems that you are having regarding posting photos..
They are probably larger that the forum allows, each photo can not be larger that 100kb..

You can either resize them yourself, or send them to me for resizing..

You might find these posts helpful

A quick update on the build, the R/C system is installed and working nicely, I went for the Radiolink 8ch set with the 2 receivers. The first coat of primer is on the hull and all of the superstructure is built and I'm now doing some finer details such as phones, drains etc. Once I get the hull painted I can fill the portholes and bond the decks down onto the hull. There was some filling and sanding on the main armament but overall the resin kit for them is very nice with some nice details on it that you wouldn't get on vac form. I think another 4/5 weeks and she can be commissioned into my fleet  :)  I cannot seem to post pictures on the forum, I think it's because I use Mac, If anyone can help with this then I have a few to show.

Hi
 Another refurb of the older models in the showroom, this one is approx 12 years old.
 Old 27mg radio and bobs board and motor stripped out and new Nimh batteries, ESC and  motor fitted, linked through 1 x10amp ESC plus a battery for the bow thruster and a lot of ballast.
 We spent a lot of time getting the balance spot on and motor fitted in cradles with foam pads to insulate from the hull, Double coupling,
 Tested on a very windy day. but it was nice a sunny until we got to the lake she handled a treat just as the sun was setting, hoping to get a nice atmospheric shot into the sunset ,
 maybe we can get her out again in the sunshine and no wind.
 Model is  1/48th scale, length 830mm  beam 200mm running on 1 x falcon 5 motor on 6 volt NiMh batterie. and a 108-02 bow thruster on 6 volts
 Regards
 Ron

If that’s your first DM kit then you certainly seem to have done it justice.

Hi all
Bought my first deans marine kit in November - had only built ‘plastic’ kits before and wanted the extra challenge these offered. Hadn’t heard of this class of ships before and got ‘taken in’ by their design and history so really wanted to do it justice. Definitely found some bits tricky but after 4 months of work she got onto the water and sails beautifully.

Thought I would share the build photos here. Thanks to all at DM for their help initially with their advice and support

Sell your Model / RTTL restoration and sailing trials deans marine
« Last Post by rondean on 20 March 2024, 15:35:48 »
Hi All
Another restoration model project, a nice easy one this time.
This prototype model is of the R T T L launch in the RAF Hendon museum. This model was the first production model of a range of A R.T.R built models with design input from Deans Marine, produced by K Y models in China and distributed by Pocketbond under the Nautix range many years ago.
This model is the demonstrator model, one of 2, used by Deans Marine at shows and exhibitions all over UK & Europe.
The boat is now upgraded with stainless steel shafts, brass A frames and brass propellers. 2 channel radio with linked motors on 7.2 volt NiMh battery.
A great sea boat with docile handling and a very colourful model as per the real craft.
Now surplus to requirements as the model is no longer available.
It will now be developed as a full kit. Must be sold as we need the space in our showroom so it will be going up for sale soon, see our website in the sale section for details.asking price complete with radio and battery is £650.00 collection only
see her on trials on you tube here.
