Hi all just after a bit of information. I use to buy sand sealer from the local model shop but there no longer there so not able to get hold of any. What are people using? It’s not for the hull it for the decking and wheel house. Thanks

Hi all looking for a set of plans for the Trent. I’ve got hold of a Hull thinking it was the seven class only to found out it’s the Trent so the seven plan don’t really work on the hull.
Regards lee.

I've had problems with them as well, with they're figure and missing parts contacted Adrian time and time again then finally an email from him saying there the parts are on route to me no sign, so back on the emails to him 2 weeks later they turn up, I think you just got to hound them.

If it looks dry it might of gone off, is it gone rock hard? I no your meant to work it and it should soften up and mix the to together.
