all respected Friends.. this is my humble effort to realize the WW2 Russian Torpedo Cutter.. mighty G5.. the entire structure is from thermocol.. except the super structure.. she is 2.5 feet long and powered by a powerful motor with water cooling..

the unique feature of this craft is it's inverted like hull.. this one is realized to operate with my all other PT boats..

the paint scheme is chosen from WW2 German tank.. now action time..

the guns are made of pieces of foam board, and the barrels from ear bud shafts.. the prop was made of aluminum sheet, and the coupling and drive shafts are from bicycle spokes..

Nice boat Roopesh, as usual. That is based on the Tupolev G5 Cutter.

I wonder why have you used a brown and two tone green camouflage pattern on a boat? That, I thought, was used only on the top surfaces of the wings of Fighters and Battle Tanks that operated over the European wooded countryside. In water, with this camo, she would be visible from a long distance and become an easy target. That also spoils the realism of the model.

Anyway, nice build and super speed! :thumbsup: {:)} {:)}

its really difficult if you think about the ones commercially available ....... but Roopeshjis technique is really simple cheap and even works wonders........ i Learnt it a few days back from him ...... he uses the aluminium rails used for windows and fast drying epoxy and foam board dats it....... and my motors run bellow the room temperature even after running 10 minutes on full throttle....

coolpratheesh

the technique he uses now is much more simpler than twisting pipes.... the makes a water container with the aluminium rails hope he has some photos.... I do have the boat with me which has this system .... so if u require i can send some photos...

I don't require it, but it's a very nice idea to post here since there are many boat guys who'd be benefitted. :)

Thank you Sahil..
Thank you Sundaram Sir..
VC Sir.. the wood top camo was chosen, because, to achieve a contrast while group RCying.. because 99% of PT boats are gone in to ship grey, r l m grey, ghost grey, or ocean grey.. will be look alike.. so, i chose this cammo.. but sure your guidance is true, is not realistic paint job.. so what about thinking of a heavily armed version of a G5..? with a AAA system.. here i am adding a second version of G5 is heavily armed Soviet machine..

roopeshkrishna

from real cammo option..

Harsh.. at present i do not have a detailed photograph logs of above mentioned set up.. as i formated my PC last week and lost most of the valuable files.. but will add a detailed descriptions over this for you.. as Pratheesh mentioned, it is easy and effective.. here i am adding the real photographs of real set up used in this craft.. you can see the tubings, and jacket painted in matt blac over motor.. and the intake scoop just in front of the prop..
Phoenix.........

roopeshkrishna

the prop tube is a body of sketch pen, the drive shaft is bicycle spoke.. the coupling is bicycle nipple.. all replaceable.. the prop is cut from aluminum sheet, the scoop is copper tube.. will add a detailed log of motor cooling..

thank you very much roopesh sir, but the link provided in 11th post was also very useful !!!

roopeshkrishna

ok.. i am preparing to add a new thread about the cooling jacket of brushless.. :thumbsup:
Phoenix.........

roopeshkrishna

the motor is removed and can see the jacket.. the inlet and outlet..
Phoenix.........

roopeshkrishna

we can add this jacket to any type of motor, and in to heavy mode as shown in last photograph.. this one was modified to haul a big ship model.. and will add it all in a new independent thread as hope it may helpful to you all..
Phoenix.........

saahil

sir these jackets appear to be hand made are they made by you.
