Hi Brinkman,
The reason I asked is because Iโve been commissioned to build one for Model Expo. They now have a license to reproduce all of the Midwest models, and the one Iโm building is missing part of the instructionsโbut I think I can figure it out.
๐
Iโll post some pictures before I start planking the hull.

You might like this one I built from a Nauticurso kit.
I added a bunch of details that didnโt come with the kit.
We all do that.

Hi Brinkman:
Do you or someone else have a build log for this Midwest Fireboat model?
I started to build one just like yours and would like to see how you build it.
Thanks

I go trolling with a good friend of my that leaves in the Floridas keys with his boat in the backyard and ready to go.
For sail fish we use lure and live baiting together.
For Mahi we look around for a see weed patch and also use a lure with sardines or ballyhoo.
Those suckers can give you a good fight.

I guess the owner of the vessels didnโt have a good season.

Thank You John:
The old picture you found shurley helped you a lot.
The same thing happened to me when I was building my Sub Chaser.
I found a bunch of realy good old pictures considering that they where from 1914.
Those pictures helped me create a bunch of extra detailed parts.
Here is a sample.

The model it looks like museum piece.
Great work.
What scale is it? I ask because Iโm looking for 1/24 seamen figures but what I have found is not that great.

Everything indicates that YES there is some kind of lockdown with China internet just like Doug mentioned.
I still donโt understand how China can do that since there is so many ways that people from any part of the world can communicate with just about anybody else.

Thank You Mรบnich for all your help.
Now I fell more confident knowing that I can use the radio I have.
I did come with a 6 channels receiver but I will consider your advise.

Also I have been having droughts about what radio to use since there is so much rules and regulation about what frequency to use here in USA.
I have a Flysky FS-i6 but since Iโm a newbie, I donโt know if I could use it.
Here are the specs.
What radio are you using?

Hey Doug, you might be correct on all of your statement.
Itโs just unbelievable how simple things can turn bad from one day to another.
Letโs hope that somehow Chuck could drop us a few words by any means he can find.

For sure something has happened to him.
He always keeps us informed about his progress with the barge project and all of a sudden he stopped.
