Hi Greg,
I'm sure you won't have been the first person to make a mistake like this. It just demonstrates how helpful it is for a sufficient number of good photographs to be supplied with the instructions. I hope the part turns up and enables you to complete the build. Good luck๐ ▲

I really like your sequence of build photos. Whenever I attempt this I seem to forget to take photos when I should and finish up with a rather disjointed offering. Knowing how the insides of boats get as wet as the outside I would be concerned that some parts appear to be unreachable for painting. Have you painted or varnished the underside of that internal deck area for example ? (it has the number 7 on it)
Good luck with the rest of the build, but for now it is looking good !๐ ▲

Coming along nicely Gregg. We all make mistakes. The key to it all is how they are overcome. You have done a great job with the recovery. Some would have faltered and put in the back of a cupboard for another day. I did 40 years ago as I couldnโt skin my Patrol Torpedo Boat. Twenty years passed and it came back out and I found that life experiences made things look so much easier. I finished it and now have started a refurbishment to make improvements. As one kind member commented here when I joined this site, I had put one of the gun turrets right in the middle of the bridge. Oooopss!! No wonder the Captain was deaf.๐ฌ

I look at it this way. If there was no work to do to improve the supplied parts, there would be very little to do at all. Martin555 made me feel guilty once when he told me that I should remove all ejector pin and blemish marks from all of the supplied parts. I did that on Dusseldorf and then repainted them all. He was absolutely right, Gid bless him. The results were very much better even though it took days to do. I now modify everything until I am completely happy.๐

Are you cutting out deck under cabin to access inner hull. It looks like you could add Radio Control easily and motor with access by taking cabin off?

I can't wait for the launch. "I name this boat "Humphrey". God bless all those who sail in her."๐

Hi Greg what sort of paint are you using?
I'm still an advocate of cellulose, (a left over from spaying kit cars) ▲
