Bristol Bay Radio Control Model Boat with Onboard Camera

This is the Bristol Bay Radio Control boat, that I have slightly modified. I replaced the giant anchors with more scale fittings, replaced the lifeboat with a storage locker, the life rings with more realistic ones, the gingerbread step railings with more to scale tubular railings, and the deck winch with a better looking, more to scale winch from Harbor Models. I added a bell and anchor winch also from Harbor Models, an exhaust stack, and fire extinguishers. The boat comes with coils of rope all over the deck and huge blobs of glue to hold them in place, these I removed to clean up the deck. I also cut down the forward vent and companionway to give them a slightly lower profile. I purchased this boat used and future plans are to redo the rigging, and sails, possibly some more lighting and sound.
