Cosmetic process is now being under way firmly and I made trimming work of the deck edge around the hull as seen below.
The boat has been becoming a simulated patrol boat of JCG by the typical tri-color scheme.
This trim works have made the hull looked tidier and crispier, haven't it.?

I'm so happy to post here the following pics of the boat with insignia on the freeboard.!
From today, she has literally become a simulated Japan Coast Guard's patrol boat with a high-speed capability against suspicious and unknown boats especially/frequently observed in the Japan Sea..??!!

With these insignia, this patrol boat model looks a bit scale like boat than ever before.. ♪～♬～♩～(^^♪
Needless to say, design of insignia and its position are my own design.
For your information, Japan Coast Guard is formally designated " Japan maritime safety agency" which does not sound common
in the world, and hard to understand compared with Japan Coast Guard.

Looking great, Kiyo. Is that vinyl lettering?

[Backerther]

That's right, Arno.!
As you know well, this kind of lettering is so easy to apply and to remove when necessary to re-apply another lettering for better
looks.
I am supposed to change the present letterings to new ones like an actual boat as seen below.

You have a lot of famous manufactures of this lettering in your country. I used to often use German-made letterings in the past
which were so nice as compared with Chinese-made ones.

Next summer project will be this kind of water-jet patrol boat of JCG using Lindberg PT-109 1/32.
If possible, water jet thrusters will be equipped with reversing buckets as your Shannon.
But, I did not feel necessary to get my PT109 jet MTB equipped with the reversing buckets at all on the water actually....

At the end of the month, my high-speed patrol boat has come up here to this level rapidly like this fast boat...
Although this is currently a RC boat, originally a pla-model by blood and thus it is easy to assemble such brief superstructures as MTB.    That's why I love to build the pla-model MTB which is so kind to pensionary old man like me...   while it could easily be a great runner on the lake and play the RC operation right away in different appearance born from the same hull.
I wish I could convert Lindberg PT109 to a water jet high speed patrol boat of JCG under the tri-color scheme enabling it to run like the MTB jet boat or JCG's actual boat as in the above pics of yesterday...
