Thanks for the info! Yea I know a guy that does glass work also, I just hate to do it. If I can’t find a cowl I’ll make my own plug and mold thanks Jerry for the info. I don’t mind the two batteries, I doubt I’ll ever do much with this boat. No body runs anything like this in my area.

A while back I built a 1/10 scale ML kit. Basically I just need to build the cowl and paint it to get it finished. Anyway, I’m thinking about going with 2 2s batteries instead of just one 4s battery. I was just wondering if anyone else has done this and if so what batteries did you go with...

The 1/6th boat is so much bigger then the 1/8th scale but they look good!

I have most everything done now except the servos and some minor detail stuff but she is really close now!

Couple more pics from today… I did a little buffing then started assembly!

My last one ran really well. I ended up selling it at the Gas Nats last year.

Thank you. Just got finish buffing it out, it really looks nice now!

I would.

I usually just cut them up on the band saw but this was cool also…

Been working on the paint for the last week and a half! I’m real happy with it so far!!

I was talking in general about any boat that anyone is thinking about building and not a particular boat. Basically make sure you can get all the parts, (cowl, wings and decals). By the way, to the original post, the Newton plans that ML is referring you to are for reference only and not build...

This is my latest build. I just started painting it last week and it should be completed this week. This is a 1/6th gas hull.

I have built a bunch of the ML kits. The first time I tried I did 2 8255 gas hulls side by side. It took me about a year to build them both to completion. But I was not in a rush. In the last two years, I have built maybe 8 ML kits. 1/10, 1/8 and 1/6th kits. They are all basically the same...

Here is where I am…

Got a little more done on it this afternoon! Just need to finish up with the cowl and get it painted. With any luck I’ll knock that out next week!

I’m really happy with the way this entire hull has come out. I sold my other gas scale at the Gas Nats last year and started on this one. This got put on the side and I built 5 other Scale boats. I finally got a chance to get this one completed just in time for the Gas Nats this year. lol!!
