Lol, you spotted that Andy, well done. The were all the same but that one was hitting the back wall so I cut it down and then it flew across the workshop. I should change it I know. Was being idol. I will do it for you.
I looked at changing the design of the radar but didn't see anything that I could use. I did rebuild it and added the light inside as mentioned before. You will see from the second pic the light is in and showing position on the radar screen.
Next is the radar boom. This is static in the kit and I wanted it to work so I had to make a modification and insert a motor I purchased at the boat show a few weeks ago. It is taller than the housing but with a few bits of plastic I think I looks ok.
Thanks guys for the kind words. I have now painted the wheelhouse and it has had almost 48hrs drying time and will be ready to start working on tomorrow. Also the last few days i have been doing some painting and making a few of the fiddly bits.
Thanks Ian. Im pleased with the paint job on this one. Not bad for rattle cans I don't think. I had a good day on the wheelhouse today and managed to get a few things done as you can see.
Thank you all for the great comments. Andy the hose is white metal painted with acrylic paints.
I have now completed the wheelhouse apart from the seat and pilot. This will be next on the agenda once I have completed the wiring terminals underneath.
The first thing I wanted to do was to install a trunking to take the wiring from the mast, search light and radar. I then added some conduits, conduit and junction boxes for that extra added scale touch.
