JJ. Thanks, I think I like it better myself as well, however, I do like the look of the original but I want to fit a bow mount leccy so I think the flush sheer version will be easier for that.

Tom. The colour I wanted was something like you guys call Fighting Lady Yellow, I've seen it on a number of boats on the net and it looks real nice I think, JGroves's FS17 build looks great in it.

This was the closest I could find at the local hardware store in an aerosol pack enamel. the brand is Easy Way, colour is 4013 yellow. It's distributed in Australia by Master Distributor Paints www.masterdistributors.com.au. Those details straight off the can. It's a bit darker than F.L.Yellow but it's nice. When I do the 'big'boat I'll have to see what's available out here for roll and tip anyhow.

Mick.

Cracka,

Very nice work! It is great to see how people prepare themselves for the "job"! These would fit nicely in Jacques 's museum.

Mick, thanks don't know what I'll end up with in the states but really like that color over FLY. FLY is to common for me, I'm a little bit of a rebel so don't know what color I'll end up with.

It looks like FLY in morning or evening light. But I agree I like the color! That is some nice model work!
