Least you did not have the infestation problem I am going down the non red primer route whilst it looks right I am not sure about its waterproof qualities on a wooden boat fibreglass yes, I see you have the spray set being 😆asthmatic doesn't look right! I have to go with paint over sprays and any spraying I have a small home made booth for such jobs that vents out side the workshopI have a pile of spare white metal parts if your anything missing

Thanks for all the help with my new venture I will try and not put posts in the wrong places like glues and solvents and water inlets not used to such a well organised website. Merry Christmas to all fellow modellers

This part of the rebuild is causing me some confusion on the original boat the boat had two inlets of 2.5mm size quite small ether side of the prop tube just back from the prop having replaced the bottom of the boat ,Do I go with this set up or as in another boat of a same make its been put through the keel then I have the problem of length of intake I have the esc and the motor to have water too and does the 2.5 size give me enough water

well this is certainly being a mammoth task the hull is put back together the mid wall towards the stern replaced also, funny thing who ever made this boat used hardwood for all the square framing and that was fine so now we have been sealed and primmer put on,Then I can move onto rubbing down the rest and prime the rest at last
I,ll temp fate and say progress at last
