Hello! I am new to the forum!

I want to share my amazing find with the rest of the world! Although I own this model right now, but at some point in life, it might go back to their inheritance or it might go to the museum!

Here is something you don't see everyday!

A Canadian Bangor-class minesweeper J254! Scratch built and plank by frame!

RC with working navigational lights too!!! :cool_2:

It is 45" long and 1:33 scale


One of a kind! The builder served on the swift current and currently 99 years old

Enjoy!
