Hi everyone,
I bought a dog boat on Ebay the other day and when I got it home and had a survey, I found the external shaft support brackets all fractured. On closer inspection they were found to be wight metal castings and where the shafts settled they had no strength hold them and fractured, so perhaps if anyone is building this kit it may be as well to make brass ones with strength and fit them instead.
Anyway getting back to my query, does anyone know the reccommended blue colour paint used for the deck and what was the colour grey that Deans reccommend for the model. As most probably due to the whipping motion of the shafts causing excessive vibration the deck is coming away and so are some fittings, which after reattaching will need a paint touch up for now, until I have time to rip it apart and start again.
Though all things considering I still am happy, as the price I paid for what I got it was still a good bargain. An with Shipmate60 helping me with the shafts the boat should be in action this year soon.
