REMOTE CONTROL SHIP MODELS
    

In general, we charge only about $1,500 for the labor and electronics for a medium size model boat (about 3' long.) Labor includes making the boat model waterproof,  installing RC hardware and electronics, and testing the model on water. RC parts include motors, propellers, shafts, ESC, and radio system.

If you want special features such as smoke and sound, it is only $1,000 extra.  

If you know to install the electrics, we can make the model "RC ready" for you. This means making it waterproof and installing working propellers and shafts and rudders.  

For those who are new to remote control boat and concerned about possible future breakdown, don't worry. The RC area is highly accessible, and replacing RC parts is relatively easy. Within 1 month of purchase, in an unlikely event that a part (motor, ESC...) is not working, we'll send you the part for free. After the warranty lapses, you can buy parts either from us or at any hobby stores.

9/ Special Request:

 

"The 62" Normandie did arrive yesterday in perfect condition. The model was packed so well I don’t think anything could have really happened to it. Thank You. The ship exceeds all expectations. You and your team are truly fine craftsmen. This is my favorite ship, and I’m so happy I chose Model Ship Masters. Not only is the ship a work of art, but with the lights and being RC, it’s like the Normandie is back alive. Thank you so much. Sincerely, George W."
