Build restarted after doing modification work on a Corvette model I acquired

Did some work on Corvette, upgraded to 2.4ghz, fitted working nav lights, fitted new servo and battery pack. Restarted work on GUERNSEY, fitted prop shaft and rudder mount, made up motor mounting.

Superstructure build and trial fit.

Hull now painted and superstructure mostly built and trial fitted but mods needed to deck to fit it properly.

    That's a lovely build Dave, have bought quite a few of Deans kits, and never noticed this one, got to go on the list now.
    Regarding your problem with uploading a video, 'Fleet' Doug is the man you need, he will probably see
    this blog and reply,(I hope).🤞

    Cheers, Pete
