Waiting Game!

As I am currently waiting for the s. They should arrive in a few weeks time! In the mean time! I am in the process of purchasing. With the Help of my good friend RON from Canada. The original Billing boats Fittings Kit! Which RON found and thought of my project! Which have the original Brass Rudders! The newer kits come with Acrylic Rudders! They don't seem to look very strong! I am going to build the Acrylic Rudders. Just to show them being built! So, for now I will play the waiting game. There's no rushing planned on this build! But, eventually I'll start the build! Once I have recieved all my parts!
