I think the Daily Mail neeeds to check their facts (Yet again)

The Marco Polo container ship is 1,299 ft, in length, and the QM2 is 1,132 feet in length.

167 foot longer, is'nt 51 times longer LOL
Model boats built so far:-

Billings Cutty Sark
Scratch built twin IC RC Vosper MTB.
Scratch built rc electric hybrid.
Scratch built rc IC hydrofoil (ran happily on snow as well as water!)
Plus numerous numerous RC planes.

Under construction
Sovereign of the Seas!
1200:1 HMS Victory (by Mantua)
The Battleship Yamato (seriously considering building as an RC model)

Made up, as is the norm for the tabloids.

Surely, the Daily Mail must have researchers, who at least have access to Google etc LOL
If not, I'll be a researcher for the daily mail LOL
