Hi Nick

It would be interesting indeed but I doubt if a KT owner would consider such a butchers job but I could be wrong :?: :lol:

Bump!

Well I said it would be a while though I did not think it would be as long as this...about 17 months later the conversion work is about to begin, get some pics on soon.
Cheers Paul & Vinnie. :wink:

Hello all,

I´m too planning to do a conversion, well it´s more like scratchbuilding as I´m making a completely new hull.

I´m not sure how Paul will make his but will be interesting to follow.

I´ll post some photos when I have some parts to show.
