Task Force 72

At the end of November, Task Force 72 held their Annual Regatta at Wentworth Falls Lake in the blue Mountains.



The members of Task Force 72 make radio control model boats at 1/72nd scale and are mainly of naval vessels from WW1 up to the present day.



The detail work is unbeliveable. They are so realistic. Some of the vessels are fitted with working radar scanners, lights etc.



The addition of sound effects makes for an even more realistic display. Sounds of gunfire, ships sirens and diesel turbine engines complete the picture.





There are even submarines in the TF72 fleet but unfortunatly its hard to take photos when they are submerged. They tend to give the ducks on the lake a bit of a fright when they surface beneath them.






Please dont ask how my model tug is going!!
