An hour was spent sanding the filler down on all parts where they were to match up with the grp parts and the plasticard without any ridges or sunken dimples, and there is one very small hollow on the top of the main cabin about the diameter of a grain of rice that has to be filled and sanded.


But also tonight I sanded the base of the upper conning shelter to fit with no gaps to fit on to the upper deck now filled and sanded.


Then just for my own vanity to make sure that the final set of the upper stanchion rails fit properly in the right place I added them to the model, along with the main mast stuck on using Plasticine, made earlier in the year.........I'M QUITE PLEASED WITH MYSELF.




It has given me more inspiration to get on with the build in haste and ready for Easter time hopefully.

Your XP/FM will be based on the NE5044 encoder. Pin number 11 is
 serial output, so you know where to start looking. The NE5044 data sheet tells you everything  else you need to know. The Corona module instructions will tell you its +/- voltage requirement. It's serial input would probably work directly from pin 11, but you want some resistance between the two.
I shine a light from the underside of a pcboard to trace circuitry from a component side photo. You've only got +/- power, a buffered serial input, antenna, & possibly rf power meter to the rf board.

Thanks for the pointers, I've had a quick look and see the white wire on what I think is the RF board.  (It's connected to the Antennae...) I'm a bit tied up today but will have a little more time over next few days to delve deeper.


I'm having some trouble uploading images to MBMImages, getting a 'Request Denied' when logging in, tried several browsers, same on my phone.  Soon as that's resolved I'll upload an image of the boards in the Tx.  Anyone else having upload issues at the moment..?

KitS,
Thank you for your kind comment.!
........This day, the surface looks pretty well like a mirror when seen from the distant place as in the pic below.....
But actual surface was REALLY dirty as seen in another pic below....partly because of no water flow, not shaky on the lake like a mirror ..See pic3!!     This condition is nothing but a mirror, a water mirror.!!!

She looks REALLY good in action. 


And you're right about a 'mirror-like' surface on the lake!   

tica,
Thank you so much for your good impression about the sailing scenes of my fast patrol boat still under trial run.


Arno,
I also do like to see a boat turning sharply and its wake left clearly behind the boat.
The scenes of a boat/ship to turn are normally so dynamic by the waves around the bow through mid-ship followed by the wakes behind the stern which are also powerful to see dependent upon the speed.    Wow wow!!

Pic 8A would be my favourite, looking great!   You were prepared perfectly for any eventually needed rescue

It looks great on the water 

The latest position.
The fore and aft decks are screwed (not glued) in (similar to Jim), so that they can be removed for access when required.  The wheelhouse and rear cabin both rest is their allotted spaces, the wheelhouse slotted into its space while the rear cabin rests over the raised rectangular edging - providing easy access to the motors and electronics.  The detailed arrangement is not exactly as in the plans and is different also from Jim's approach which better matches the plans, but it is more-or-less compatible.
I am now puzzling over the problem Jim found which also applies to my kit - the handrail supports/stanchions are of a smaller diameter than the holes in the deck edging strip and the handrails to which the stanchions attach.
