Post by LyleW »

Since I ha only forty-twelve things started, why not?

I believe I need something new to keep me busy while othe things dry.

Typo in you're title - or maybe you're building a race pig :giggles:

I've been interested in these larger scale brown water boats. Following along.
Thanks,

I must fine a line drawing of that boar I can use for a decal!

This thing goes together pretty fast. Swiftly, one might say and I did just that.

Odd thing, though. The railings did not fit properly. I actually did several dry fits. The holes for mounting were a tiny, tiny bit to small and the one forward with the angled piece was too far forward. So, I added a small piece of plastic.

Thanks. Low parts count and a surprisingly decent fit.

OOB, it is a very easy quick building kit.
