Does amyone know of a supplier of an outboard motor in 1:16 scale i.e. overall height of 4 inches/100 mm? A “dummy” would be fine or a cheap battery operated toy.

I already have a `TURBO’ battery operated unit but this has an overall height of 5 inches/125 mm and therfore considered to be about 1:12 scale. I paid £5 for mine and if anyone is in the market for one for a model, there are some currently on ebay.

David. Hobby`s do one, which is unfortunately 127mm tall…and likely the one you are talking about. Apart from that i have not seen any model outboards, and unless you have a lucky “toy” find I think that you may have to make your own.

I had the same trouble for the TOYBOATA and made one up from balsa. It is no great feat of modelmaking but there is not much detail on an outboard. Mine is a dummy, and acts as a rudder, the prop being just in front, and it looks very effective in the water.
