      An last pic a shot of the bow she has now got her ankor hawsers fitted
      an next up to do is fit all the C20 penant NO.s on an then then 7 lots of draught markins an then fit the stand out tiger letters in red on the stern an then when all that done then it will be all sprayed in about 4 coats of clear gloss lauqer to give the hull the water proff seal ( hopefully ) an then she in the test tank for testing

          Looking good Chris, nice bit of masking there! How are you going to do the draught markings? Decals?

            Hi Chris
            The black line has come out perfectly. Removing masking is always a worrying time - has the paint leaked under it, will it pull off the paint already done :rolling:
