Wow, a day and a half and great progress.
It took me an age to get to this stage and I motor along.....

Good stuff.

Well im back to work tomorrow after ten days off :loudly-crying:

[Mark1]

Got a bit more done, a few bits of filler sorted and the boats got a bit taller.
The hulls had a coat of mr hobby white for the boot line and the bottom half has then had a coat of mr hobby red gloss, a little touch up of white needed but has came out pretty well on the whole, im gonna stick with mr hobby for the blue going on tomorrow ,what i got is a bit light so ill add some black and thatll be close enough.

I tried building one of these not long after I returned to the hobby and it was waaay beyond my skill level at the time so it was never finished :disappointed2:

Thanks Geoff, its a nicely detailed kit but trying to get it together is a pain .

...... but trying to get it together is a pain .

You're doing well Mark. I remember to get it to fit reasonably took a lot of fettling and dry fitting, even then a fair bit of filling was needed.

Cheers Jim, despite it being a p.i.t.a its quite an enjoyable build.

An update , ive mixed up a shade of blue which is good enough for me and got that painted on the hull and the black has been painted on what i guess would be a rubber bumper thingy which runs around the hull. Windows have been fitted also.bit of tiding up to do with a touch up

Neat work Mark. The boat is coming along nicely.

To my eternal shame and being bone idle, apart from the 'Dash Board', I left off all the interior. Figuring it wouldn't be seen.

So top marks to you sir, for constructing the kit as it should be built. :thumb2: :thumb2:

Just ketchin' up Mark. Nice floaty thing and the colors came out really well on the under floaty part!!! I'll try and keep up now, unless you sail off into the sunset Sir......

Cheers chaps :thumb2:
Ron as for the interior, i stopped adding stuff when i realised none will be seen.i only added the seats because the headrest silhouette is about all you will be able to see. I probably wont even paint in there.
