Thanks, Stuart.

Well, the “decals” aren’t water slide. They are dry transfer. I’m going to give them a shot. So, more later on that.

I finally got to work on this a bit. Got the old raised depth markers sanded off, hull repainted (several times!) and a start on the rest. The instructions are delightful…not.
