          Welcome Stevie,

          Yes the Sea Queen was a 1960's Aerokit classic and has been reissued in recent years by Jotika.

          To post photos you need to create an album and you can them move the photos into Forum posts or simply provide a link to the album.

          For further advice on this check out the FAQ section at the bottom of the right hand column opposite.

          Colin

                      There was no "real" Sea Queen but the scale of the model would be about 1/8.
