Hi John,

Impressing brass/soldering work!
Well done.

One tiny thing :oops:
The rear mud guards weren’t mirrored.
The square holes had the same layout on RHS and LHS, sorry...

Kind regards
Kent

Thanks for that Kent. I was so careful not to make them the same as I almost did. I can cut that section out and solder in another.Not finished yet as I also need to cut away a small section on each side and try making the locking tabs. Also need to make the hull hinges.

Now fixed. Thanks for noticing. I came across this before but forgot.

Got them fitted now and also side fenders. Cannot find charger for camera battery at present so photos will follow soon. I mentioned before about screw fittings for side fenders and got a few suggestions. In the end I went with Rich's solution of drilling out standoffs and fitting 1/8 tubes which were then tapped for 3-48 screws. Worked well. Thanks Rich.
