How is that bloke holding the whole stern up like that?

I'm so glad to post the following pics of completed hull as per the instruction manual except mainly foredeck fittings.
As previously mentioned, this 3D-patrol boat kit has been built according to my own concept of imaginary Japan Navy specifications.   That's why I call this boat "super-Guardian class patrol boat" by its tremendously powerful armament and expected speed that have not been equipped with original Austal's Gurdian 40 class patrol boat.

The left for kit construction is a rescue boat to be set on the stern.  
The fundamental process to go to the trial run is as follows.
Rescue boat->water-proof work->dry-dock pool test to check and adjust the balance of hull->final/overall check of the boat->TRIAL RUN ON THE WATER.   The foe or friend to this RC boat is the very wave and wind of the boating lake especially in this season.!!!
This patrol boat will possibly never be able to patrol and test under such a condition..!!!????

Hold it, the 6 mm lock nut might not big enough 

Ready and learning the English language

WELL, NO ONE GOT IT.The main  cabin has been painted in the wrong colour orange.
The trunking on the front of the engine casing in front of the main cabin have been painted in the 99% choice of lifeboat modellers colors, the Volkswagan brilliant orange, for their modern lifeboats.
What the cabin has been painted in, i could not imagine, but there are so many scrapes and bumps scratches and bangs on it and the two other grp pieces that have been painted the same colour.,

It will all have to come off and start again with a good sanding and filling.

The piping work is done in the pics below.
And 25 days are left before (successful?) sailing on the lake I set as my "summer project".
But I am not in a hurry so much to complete the model with minimum details, but just a subtle part of my emotion is only expecting confidentially the trial run on the water of this RC boat...!! 
The lake may be waiting for the sailing test to be done as in the pic by the navy of Derek's country.!!!
