Default dumas Circus Circus 1/8 build

Thought I would share my latest aquisition, It's a dumas Circus Circus kit I got from Billium(another member here)
I've made a few items myself like the turn fin and the engine mount.

The boat looks great. I would suggest if using an exhaust throttle you better make sure that all the wood is sealed on the inside, the pics make the inside wood look unsealed and if that is the case then the boat wont have a long life.

I dont do scale boats but i think the bend in the turn fin might need to be a little deeper than flush with the ride pad?
