Hi Colin
Yes, same as me. If you can find the right way then all goes well, otherwise ....!
I have now painted the hull (see below, still curing) using auto spray paint. My first attempt with the white colour left an orange peel texture. Really annoying. Sanded and recoated which improved it somewhat. But at a distance who will see! Nevertheless, it is annoying - I had to change from my usual paint which now I think worked better but it is unobtainable here now.
But still, I feel that I have climbed the mountain and the remaining tasks are much more straightforward although still time-consuming because there are lots of details to be sorted out!

Hmmm, It's not looking promising. I was really hoping for some help perhaps from someone who has also built this model.

Thanks...
Added the towing daymark as well, tried to make it look a bit realistic, battered and dirty. Might have overshot that goal a little, but with a bit of distance it doesn't look too unrealistic... |

In amongst a load of stuff that I have been given is a pack of Swan Morton No. 3 scalpel blades. With them is a Swan Morton No. 4 handle which is not compatible with the blades. What handle should I get for those blades?
