I'll second that comment of U33's....took me six years of sailing in all weathers to get the same grimy effect on my puffer............but even after being run down by a friends 8'6" Hunt Class destroyer, she still bobbed up like a cork and sailed well.............they are fabulous little models, and I can state quite reasonably with Hand on heart, that this kit was and is the finest little model that Frank Hinchliffe ever EVER designed and built.......and yours does the old man proud.........he would have loved it.
