RC Boat - RMS Queen Elizabeth II - Ocean Liner

This great ocean liner was the flag ship of Cunard for 35 years until the successor Queen Mary 2 replaced her. In this periode she crossed the Atlantic 695 times, completed 23 journeys around the world, travelled 5 mio. sea miles and accommodated more than 3 mio. passengers. At present QE2 lays permanently in Dubai were she is converted into a hotel.
The model was built from scratch by Gerold Brunner. It is constructed in the scale 1:200 and features even the smallest detail.
The movie shots were taken at our yearly Model Boat Showcase in 2008.

did this use to be a modle kit

@lyman2129 No, it is built completely from scratch. Gerold based his model on plans, which he bought approx. 40 years ago.

Where did you find plans to build this beautiful model?

@724Christian

I will ask Gerold, where he got the plan from and post it here as soon as I know

It is a beautiful model, very crisp looking and really nice to see the QE2 as built with the smoke stack and sports deck. How do you find it is for sailing... as in the size determined by the scale? In hindsight would you go bigger or smaller in terms of the model handling in the water(or is it just right)? It does look great sailing .. I'm just trying to work out how 'N-scale' (2mm / foot) will work as r/c models.

@del69blue

You are completely right, it is an absolute stunning model! Gerold, who built it is a real model master. I do believe that he is quite happy with the scale (by the way it is 'his' scale, so all his models are 1/200). As far as I recall 'N' scale is 1/160 which would result in a model of approx. 1.83m. That would be very nice for shure and the overall sailing behaviour would probably be even better as the physics with water does not scale (therefore the bigger the more realistic).

I would appreciate that very much, I have been searching  Since May for plans for QE2 and have been able to find Nothing. I appreciate your assistance and your time Thank You.

Thanks for your kind comment. But I don't want to take credit for this model as it is built by Gerold, a club mate from us. Therefore the laurels winning belong to him ;-).
