Cheers BUnk'.
I mailed him and he hasnt got back to me. I wanted to crack on with it so i managed to scratch up some small brass tube which luckily enough fits the hole in the plastic props that came with the kit perfectly. So i will probably glue them on.

I have managed to finish the propshafts and seal them in with epoxy. And perfectly aligned they are too (Impressed myself i have !)

Once the propshafts had dried it was on with some water testing for ballast.

I ran out of heavy things small enough to fit in the hull. After twoo 7.2v battery packs it was still riding to high. I will phone round my mates to see if any of them have any spare roofing lead i can chop up. My plan will be to make some moulds the same shape as the keel and fill them with lead.
No leaks by the way!!... the shiney stuff in the top picture is the epoxy...(Honest!)
