Default RE: Robbe PT 15 Patrol boat review

Once deck is fitted it was time to fit outer hull rubbing strips and then fill and trim time to get the hull smooth ready for prime
main hull construction complete time to start on the main super structure this is made out of two vacformed parts this part is were expirence is needed as alot of cutting and filing is needed for doors windows once the two parts are together with doors etc placed and cut out youll need to fit internal wooden parts this is for reinforcing for outer rails horns mast etc once all is installed its time for trimming filling and prepping for paint pics bnelow show main hull and main superstructure under painting ive found the coulors on the kit incorrect with experience ive found most under water line coulors on japanese millitary boats are oxide not black so that is what i went for for painting these parts i used a flexiable filler primer to start about three coats then sand then about three coats of grey primer /oxide primer for hull bottom and rudders then about three coats of satin laquer
