Peter I salute you. The guns on my Imai kit are only half barrels and only stuck in holes on the hull sides. :thumb2:

Cheers,

Finally in have got to the top deck and I have purchased myself some wood pigment and after an hour or so of mixing different shades I finally settled on what's in the picture.

[peterairfix]

More work done today I have the top deck fitted and have started on cabin wall's and deck fittings

Hi Peter
That wood paint looks good. Your mix for the deck seems just right to me.
