Thanks guys, Well sitting and waiting isn't my forte and I tried it but couldn't hack it lol. So I decided to apply the white line. Now I'm not going to cheat and say I painted it because that's not my way. While at the boat show last weekend I purchased some Model Techniques Trim Line (white) This comes in many widths on the roll and you cut the strip you need 2.5m length. It works well.

Day 38
The final painting on the hull is the 2 red stripes fore and aft. I masked these out and applied several coats of the red. A quick wipe over when dry with white spirits to remove the glue of from the masking tape is needed and then ill add the numbers.

Thanks Ole. I have now finished the hull painting and all that's left to do is add a couple of jet outlets at the rear. I have added the ropes to the sides and the black you see at the loops is heat shrink.

That looks excellent mate, we've got no bloody chance if you join the boat build SIG next year 
That is a nifty idea which I'm stealing for the next build, it'll save making leather straps as I can just paint the shrink .... Lovely jubly ta\ said:

Haha Colin. Ill save my Severn Class until then then mate hehe. The heat shrink works well I just threaded the rope through and run the tip of the soldering iron up and down to shrink it. Glad it helps.

Day 40 - 41
I have made some progress over the last couple of days. I have managed to fit the fore and aft tread plates and painted the decks. You will also see the jet outlets at the rear. The next thing I decided to do was build the deck hatch at the front. This is meant to be ornate but I have decided that I want to put the power switch and the switch for the radar and lighting in here. To do this I had to make a piece for the base and then cut out a square so that the switches don't have to pass through a double thickness. There are 15 parts that make up this hatch including my extra one. This has had a coat or two of primer ready for the top coat of Orange.

Day 42
Cheers Mobear. Today I decided I would construct the tow post. The kit states a tube of 15mm x 120mm but didn't say of what. I looked through the kit and found a wooden dowling at 22mm x 120mm, well that was no good, how could you make a mistake like this. I thought about using some 15mm copper pipe but then there was the need to cap the top off - so I looked around the workshop and found a length of 22mm Aluminium blank that I have. I cut it to length and turned it down in the lathe.
I drilled all the necessary holes for the rails etc. by using my dermal pedestal, I have had this a couple of years or more and this is the first time I have used it. Then I fitted the post into the base that I made from the kit as instructed using the 7 parts indicated.

The next quick job was to cut a square hole in the forward deck for the switches that go under the hatch, then fit the painted hatch to the deck.
