Well the sponsons and tub are now sealed inside.
I also used some 1" cloth tape to reinforce the joins, the transom is double layered to beef it up a bit.
Sponsons and tub are closed up and have some sanding to finish before hitting it with some resin.
I left slight overhangs on the rear of all the ride surfaces as well.
Looks great, definately different from stuff i have seen in the past.
Would love to see more pics also especially once it has the killer paintwork on it!
Yeah been a bit slack!lol
Everytime I think about doing resin work it gets too windy or too cold or it rains!
Really wish I had a workshed.
What were you looking at Brett, do you want to scratch build your own or buy a glass hull?
I have a few plans for .45 sized boats.
Have not run nitro boats though.
Sweet, looks fast!
From memory the mono hull the Nitro engine came from was around 39inches.
So should be plenty fast in a bit smaller hull like that.
Got the second resin coat on the underside and one on the top on the weekend, really didnt want to do brush coats anymore as it takes so much time to sand smooth. Was going to get the paint guys at the airfield to spray the resin coats on but decided to do that next time.
I hear what your saying about the resin, I have a small shed to tinker in but it's not big enough to swing a cat in. Sanding brushed resin is a hastle, spray is the only way to go.
