40'' Seaplane Tender, new build S

Just thrown some paint at the hull (sides and bottom 'anti fouling'), fitted the deflectors on the cabin tops and drilled the rear small port hole. Also have drawn up the name template to make the waterslide decal. I can start fitting the shafts and rudders now. Will flat off the 'antifouling' as it's a bit glossy at the mo. Also, my '' sound unit turned up and I've managed to find a suitable sound near enough to the Detroit 453s the original had fitted (unit comes with 58 car/truck sounds installed). With this sound unit you can record a sound, send it to and they will make a file and send it back so you can download it to the unit via USB (or so the guy says) Might give it a shot. I'm not using the LEDs supplied (for lights, indicators etc but could use a couple for reverse and forward, (you can program a few things via USB) You can add sirens/horns etc as well. Have another one coming which is the new one piece model, (they even do a bluetooth one which can be phone operated/adjusted by an app) Gives the model a bit of 'sumpin' xtra. (nothing to do with certain Thai 'women' for those who were thinkin' 😜!)
