    Selling Rivadavia, 5.5 unit 28 second dreadnought. This was my second capital ship built in 2008-2009ish. Recently gutted for a refit to bring up to modern tech, but have too many other projects on the ways to get back to her / expect to battle, and real estate is at a premium.

    Included as shown - hull, deck, superstructure, 4x guns, motor mount/shaft, rudder, internal armor. 3/16" shaft provided and Traxxas motor mount are new. Made new larger rudder as well (4.5"). Also have a second aft deck that I made up with an alternate gun configuration (traditional dual sterns / haymaker)

    Kit bash from Australian Baden Hull. Custom casements molded into the hull and legally cut

    Overall a fun boat, legitimately neutral so can be fought on either team. Will spin in place with good prop selection.

    Last battled 2016. Guns were new that year. Some parts were pulled from the gun air supply, I'll make up new ones and run some BBs through each

    Most of the 'hard' parts of the build are complete, fitting out remaining internals would not take too long relative to a new build

    Asking $250 for boat, $20 for the gear shown below (new part, replacement cost). Can bring to Bradford PA or Oakboro, NC IRCWCC battles this year. Prefer to not ship but can at cost.

    Pictures of current state. Can't seem to find that aft deck piece, I will look but can't promise I'll find it

    Hope she finds a nice home. :)

    Well since she still doesn't realize I bought a Bismarck, even though she has seen it a few times, I figured I'd better ask this time around lol.

    Lol, but nope, she's acknowledged it's mine. She just doesn't realized that it's the latest ship I bought, she thinks I've had it for some time now. Helps that around the time I got it I was also selling off a few others, so she never realized it came in when those were going out.
