    Thatโ€™s an old (1968) IMC plastic kit for display only. It has a basic, but pretty scale interior worthy of kit bashing. Testors picked up the molds years back.
    Iโ€™ve always wanted to build a ducted fan Lear type jet, possibly a Citation. But, donโ€™t fly anymore as I wasnโ€™t a very good pilot anyway!

    H! I will be bothering you about the Scout and yes I will be glassing it. My biggest concern in the end is going to be ballast.
    But, I will follow-up with you once I really get going.

    I'm of the same opinion that it should be left as is. The beauty is in the simplicity and any additions would be at odds with this.

    Scout is a wonderful build. I did two RC and my uncle did one for display. I used for boom ropes was stretchy material with a pin hook. Made it easier to remove parts for Rc access. In last one I fiberglassed hull. On first one hull got dings. The balsa is soft under the paint. I wish I had added smoke to it, sound and lights. Good sailing

    Jumpugly,
    Have a wonderful new year.
    In my opinion the boat is a work of art. It cannot be improved.

    Thanks for the kind words my friends!

    But, as I've gotten older the boots have become more difficult to wear.

    BTW: I've got some good Pinot Noir and Rum stored down there...for inspiration?!!!
