Hi chaps

I have a few bits left over, on the launch, that don't seem to be mentioned in the build?

One is the front gusset and have two other gussets that must fit at the stern, against the back wall?

I can't find any mention of these items in the instructions, they are not shown on the internal spray finish picture

Or am I missing something?

Hi Bob,

They will proberly be fitted later in the build, when we put the floor, brass mesh and rudder on to it.

Regards,

Andre

Thank you, Andre

It seems strange to me, to fit the gussets after painting?

Hi Bob, I have been looking at the Italian (I think) official build diary, and the front and rear gussets are painted white.
Painting these white with them in situ, is going to be awkward to say the least. So I am guessing that they are painted white before fitting which would make life a whole lot easier.

On the other hand, I have seen them on other builds as a khaki colour and black.
So its anybody's guess what the UK magazine are going to have them as.
