Hi Stephen
The two side panels of the roof are easy to remove, the centre panel is firmly fixed in place. I reckon there is enough room to fit windows and paint the interior with just the side panels removed. ▲

Just a thought I trust you haven't pinned the cabin roof down as you have the windows to put in I made that mistake and had to take it off again, see these boats are not easy the law of all sods steps in when you don't want it

Hi Stephen,
The red primer is over a couple of coats of Hempel Multicoat, it has adhered nicely. I donβt spray big stuff in the workshop, the airbrush is mainly used for acrylics and I wear a very good respirator as I do a fair bit of GRP and epoxy work on the other boats. ▲

Least you did not have the infestation problem I am going down the non red primer route whilst it looks right I am not sure about its waterproof qualities on a wooden boat fibreglass yes, I see you have the spray set being πasthmatic doesn't look right! I have to go with paint over sprays and any spraying I have a small home made booth for such jobs that vents out side the workshopI have a pile of spare white metal parts if your anything missing

Iβm using one intake in the prop wash for the watercooling of the ESC and the other pickup (position yet to be determined) for the pump for the monitor.

I have a couple of water pickups ready to go in, just waiting for the water pump for the monitor to arrive from China. By then hoping the workshop will be a bit warmer!

"As I seem to be working on two models at the same time ..."
Some folks are gluttons for punishment Neil! Welcome to the clubπ So far so goodπ Be nice to fit twin shafts, as per original though. What you are doing reminds me of the ELCO PT Boat restoration I started some (too many) moons ago. Cheers, Dougπ ▲
