Progress pics inbound shortly.

Evening fellas,added more gel to the bow wake last night and  commenced on the painting  this morning.So far it's looking pretty good.I painted the under side of the wave bluish green to break  the white up from the bow wake.Going to  let this  sit overnight and add some water splashes to the hull sides tomorrow.Still undecided if I want to build anything up before I do the  final gloss varnish.Hope you like the progress.















Thanks for looking,as always ACW.

Evening fellas,well after 2 months I'm finally finished! I'm really happy with the results and learned a few things for the next time I decide to do water dio.
I raided the spare parts box and added a anti aircraft site to the MG and added some water splash marks to both sides of the side hull.Hope you enjoy it as much as I did building it.





















 Thanks for looking,as always  ACW.
