Not having the inclination or the skills to build one from scratch I was looking at fiberglass ready made. Not many about and can be very expensive too.
    So when a club mate said he had a wooden hull he'd picked up cheap that I could have it f.o.c. I grabbed it.
    From the drawing you can see how I plan to alter it, bringing the nose forward and extending the sides too.
    These are very long print times for each of 5 separate sections so hope it's worth it.
    Not out to break records, more about creating a scale look, might even add some mirrors. I have some nice decals to put on too. It will be 6s so 2x 3s 5000mah like all my other outboard models.

    Nice project!
    I made my cowl without 3D drawing and i think it came out pretty well.
    Take a look at my WOF F1 project.

    First print done only 4 more to do. Came out well, I was lucky though as the middle support came loose near the end. 20230511_164217.jpg

    It's a bit daunting seeing how much work there is to do to get this on the water. One step at a time and I'll get there, it looks a big model now with its new center section. I need to fill and paint the wooden part first maybe to white undercoat, then glue some fuselage bits in place having first rubbed them down and undercoated them. 20230524_074251.jpg 20230524_074236.jpg 20230524_075907.jpg
