Member Model – Doug’s Harbor Star Conversion

The original model was a ready-to-run by Kyosho called Harbor Star  and was modelled after a 28 ft. sedan limousine built in 1929 by Chris Craft and of which only 3 where built. Doug has redesigned the model by removing the forward cabin and some trim, and also moved the rear cockpit forward. He has re-done the sides and stern with mahogany veneer, and the deck was recovered with mahogany strips 3/32 X 36 inch. The whole was treated with numerous coats of Spar varnish for finish.

He has kept the original 550 motor but will be upgrading the speed control from mechanical to electronic, and will be using a 7.4V Lipo battery. The bow light was drilled out to allow the use of LED lights and an LED on the rear flag shaft. All the original fittings were retained and cleaned up.

The model is 30 inches long.
