Ok, seem to have cracked the photo posting.

Both hull halves were scraped with a half round blade to simulate the oil canning effect, VERY messy and time consuming.
I also wanted to open up the flood holes. This was done by grinding away the rear/inside of the hull right down to the holes with a mini drill and round tip burr. This was finished off with a scalpel to clean up the holes.

Next came the long flood hole's above the saddle tanks. I cut the plastic away by scribing through it with back of a craft blade. Once cleaned up i replaced all the ribs with 1mm square plastic rod.

TBC,

Sav.
