Good News! mhr 8700 Smokin Joes/ Winston/ U10 GAS SIZE cowling is now available!

[Mike Luszcz]

Well, with a joint effort between Don Ferrette, Steve @ RC BoatCompany, and myself, we made it happen.

Don did the leg work and found a 1/6 scale Smoking Joes cowling that was too big for gas, so purchased it and he sent it down to me, I cut around 3" off and snipped it and reshaped the front end to make it correct for the GAS size (1/6.667) scale class, got it in finished plug form, then I sent it on down to Steve to make a mold so he can get these available for everyone. He has sent Don and I a cowling, in which I will now going to finish up a semi-extreme series frame kit that will work around the cowling. The cowling is available through him now, and I hope to have the GAS 8700 kit available very soon (within the month)! Here is a pic of the cowling Steve sent me. I will post more pics soon as the cowlings will arrive to me today! Mike

can that cowl be used for any other scale boats or was it unique to the SJ ?

Oh yeah it does a few others for sure like the Emcor, Appian Jeronimo, Winston Eagle, Close Call, Al Deeby Dodge,etc.

This must be why I'm sending some Joe's Graphics to Texas here very soon.....

Did David finally finish his gas Joes build? Maybe he already got a hold of Steve!

Here is a list Steve has on his site for the 1/8th scale cowling, so all these will work with the gas size as well!

I guess he's got it done or close to it. He called me earlier this week to check on the progress of his order. Just one more to finish before I split for Utah.

I talked to Dick Loeb this morning about some gas Speedy Printing decals he will need in the next month or so...so put it on your list! Mike

Oh those are easy....the Joe's sets are always fun and time consuming....
