Pat W .

Hey , You know what .That looks like a long lost AMT kit !

It was around for about a year and just disappeared !

When it was first around it had a big JOHNSON Sea Horse engine !

Nice job on that ! I do especially like the Wood decal though . Very nice !

Hello Pat,

Nice work on your speedboat. I like the "boathouse" too.

The boat reminds me of the Glastron in Live and let die.

Just keep picking away at it...

Thanks guys. Well gregbale, as the hull and deck were so thin it may well have been plastic, but as I said it was difficult to find a suitable adhesive, but otherwise it was all resin cast.

Really beautiful project...and 1st-class work on the decals!

Was it an all-resin kit?

I bought this in 2008 and thought I'd better get on and build it. The casting/moulding of the deck and hull were thin and took a while to fix them together. The wood decal is home printed.
