I've started building this Billings kit laid the keel in 2007 ! But until last year it has been in storage due to other builds. Mainly RC model aircraft. I will post some photos of the build during the past year or so to catch up. I'll then post progress more slowly as I go along.

Some early pics

Testing engine fits

these are a few pics of the planking process taken over the past year.(more to come)

More pics of the hull planking progress during the last year.

Timber hull construction finished. Now the sanding and filling of imperfections to prepare for the next stage which will be the application of a fibreglass cloth skin to waterproof the hull and obtain a steel-plated like finish.

Sanding, filling, sanding, filling, sanding, filling.
