These Semi-Scale radio controlled model boats are sometimes in kit form, requiring extra items to complete, although nowadays with lower manufacturing costs we can also offer a good range of pre-assembled ready to run models, ready to sail.

Ripmax 1/32 Perkasa Torpedo Boat Cosmetically Damaged Stock (HB020DS)
The Perkasa was the lead boat of a class of four vessels built by Vosper Thornycroft in
Southampton for the Royal Malaysian navy in 1967. Four others were built for the Royal
Navy. The original was powered by three Rolls Royce Proteus gas turbine engines of 4250HP
each, giving a maximum speed of 54 Knots. Two smaller diesel engines were used for slow
speed manouevring. Armament consisted of one 40mm Bofors gun, one twin 20mm Oerlikon,
anti-aircraft machine gun and four 21" torpedos on side mounts.
The model has a blow moulded hull with integral deck, giving great strength, durabilty
and effectice waterproofing. The top cabin and detail parts are made of injected styrene
and etched brass, which have been expertly built in the factory into an amazingly detailed
representation of this powerful torpedo boat. All the hard work has already been done!
Although the vast majority of the detail is already there in the model, there is still
scope for the owner to add something more. If you decide to fit a third motor system to
make her really scale, please remember that you will need an ESC of at least 100A and the
rudders will have a reduced effect. Even the painting has been hand sprayed at the factory
in authentic colours to ensure that you get a stunning model, straight out of the box.
Please note this is a new model that is still to be imported into the UK unfortunately as
of the 7th June we have no information when this will be.
These items are ready built but have suffered some
cosmetic damage during shipping requiring some basic gluing repairs and so are available on
a first come first seved basis while stocks last.
The model is supplied with two 550 size, brushed motors plus mounts, shafts and propellers. A compatible ESC will be available as an optional item. All you will then need is basic 2-Channel radio and a 6 cell Nimh battery pack of around 2500mAh or more. We recommend the KMS 80A Twin Marine ESC, Hi-Energy 6 cell 3300mAh Nimh and Sanwa Dash Saber radio.
A range of optional items will be available soon such as;
1) Torpedo Launch (yes, the torpedos are driven!!)
2) Turret Rotation
3) Light system
4) Sound generator
Use of optional items may require more channels in the radio system.
If you are a scale boat modeller, the Hooben Perkasa is going to be irresistible!
