Yes Kevin, If I had seen this picture then I would have moved mine up but his drawing shows it lower. I would imagine that the red is simply a painted rectangle like I did on mine. However , after blowing the picture up I dont see any gold in it. Slats, after looking at the picture I see what you are talking about but I think that its an optical illusion.

mark up just above and below the surfaced WL with some low tack tape and cover the boat up. Mix up some cream coloured paint. Airbrush it. For best effects of weathered look rather than solid - airbrush from a distance and vary that distance.
Easy - about 20 minutes work tops.

Ive posted this video a while back but I just reviewed it again and to my surprise.................ITS THE KURSK! Its actual running video of the Kursk for the first minute or so. It surfaces and then runs past the shore camera thats filming it and then turns to the right and then thats it. Then the video goes into other Oscars. Very Very Good. If you dont believe me look at the crest on the side of the sail in the middle. You cant see the one on the front of the sail.

In this series of pictures you can see the finished application of window frames and decaling of the sail. A little bit more touch up and Ill be ready for the application of the clear and instalation of the masts. Then its re-assemble time and back to the water to check trim before the plunge.

In the second picture you can see evidence of an experiment. To attach these tiny window frames I used model airplane glue(sparingly) to hold them in place. Then to help simulate clear glass I filled up the space inside of the window frame with gap filling CA, hoping that when it dried it would look like glass. Some of them came out good. But a couple of them did WEIRD things , like crack. One(right center front) looks like a barrage of machine gun bullets hit it from inside. An obvious sign of a mutiny! Well ill touch up the few degenerates and all will be well..................I think. Also the front sail decal has a little mismatch between the red background and the white stripe at the top and center of the bottom. Thatll get touched up as well.IT TAKES GREAT INTELLIGENCE TO FAKE SUCH STUPIDITY!Comment

Yep, this too long running project will soon be done. It is my hope to test everything and get lots of video on the 26th of Oct. Myself and Al Nuci and Aquadeep will be meeting at Blue Springs, just like last year. Then its on to the next project which will be the Duo-prop setup on the Albacore. I just cant wait. Hopefully within a couple of months that will be done and then its on to the Skydiver. Pray for me..........................IT TAKES GREAT INTELLIGENCE TO FAKE SUCH STUPIDITY!Comment

This teeny tiny light proved to be a challenge to get it taped and painted and to make it look like it wasn't done by a amateur. It helps to complete the Russian "LOOK". You know, the white painted frames and where applicable, sonar windows. Gotta have it, although I have seen Oscars with and without.Last edited by greenman407; 10-11-2011, 08:22 AM.IT TAKES GREAT INTELLIGENCE TO FAKE SUCH STUPIDITY!Comment

Oh , and by the way, dont be surprised when you get to your window frame installation if the frames dont fit down into the recesses cause mine didnt. But I wasnt about to take a Dremel to that paint job. I glued them on the outside. You cant tell unless you have a look with a magnifying glass, there so small. Tomorrow, windshield install and final touch up of sail.Last edited by greenman407; 10-10-2011, 05:57 PM.IT TAKES GREAT INTELLIGENCE TO FAKE SUCH STUPIDITY!Comment

The windshield was next, aligning it properly and CAing it on with out making a mess.
Also out came the paint brush and some black to touch up the front Banner at the bottom. There......thats better.
Then came the fantastic Kevin Mcleod manfg. escape buoy marker thing. Consulting the drawing I wanted it oriented properly with the white and red bands where they were supposed to be and the small white radial bands where they are supposed to be. It was then CAed down.
