Old Rocky pics?

Greeting from Norway!
First; this is a GREAT forum!

I`m about to bild me a new RC offshore raceboat, and have found a hull that`s nearly exactly like the ol` french "Rocky Euromache". I saw that boat in Arendal, Norway, back in 1987, when Didier Pironi won with his "Colibri". Man what a race! The weekend after, Pironi was killed.
Anyway; I`m now looking for pics of Rocky. So if you have any, I`d be very pleased if you would e-mail them to me.

And BTW; my next project is to build Colibr, so if anyone of you have any pics of thatone too, feel free to send me a copy.
My e-mail is jon(at)rcmesse.no (change the (at) with a @)

So long....

Here she is today. Living in Michigan as a poker run boat, complete with #5 drives and Lambo engines.

Re: Old Rocky pics?

I'm just about finished with a model of the Rocky Conquest boat for the new owner of the real one, I'm also restoring and retrofitting the real one with a fairing at our shop right now. I'll post some pics when the models in primer this week.
