    Hi Johan, as much as I like this build I noticed that the added propeller tunnels as far as I can see are placed here as an extension on the bottom. The real model has it "cut out" from the bottom keeping the straight waterline. If you glue it on the bottom you break the smooth straight line and that can influence the behavior in the water as rc model. So for rc I think you best hang on to the original Dumas build instructions. Maybe I am mistaken and misinterpreted the build photo. Good luck with the build! It is a really beautiful vessel. Frank

    What a great way to build in a museum that is open for public! Surely must slow you down because of all chats but even so you build with a fast pace :). I love the FRC and I am so curious about all black squares. As you seem to know a lot about this vessel hopefully you can explain to me the purpose of them. First I thought they were filters of some kind but after a closer look to your photos of the real vessel I doubt if I am right. Frank

    I think you did a very good job in such a short time. The model is already looking very good!

    Nice job so far on your model. It will be a beauty. And I love the photos you took. You are lucky to be able to visit it. I looked all over the web for details but most photos are from far away or perspective distorted. I will use your photos to add some detail to my model . Do you plan to add more detail? It will make a big difference to the original Dumas model. Good luck with the next steps! Regards, Frank

    Hi, I don't know if you want to make the model radio controlled but then you may consider to enlarge the access space to the hull using the large size of the upper deck to cover. It makes the access to the hull easier and in my vessel it came in handy to be able to install motor, servo, esc and batteries. Frank

    Very nice build and a beautiful vessel. The kit came too late for me but it looks great. I have build this model also but did not have plans so did a best effort. I could not post the image but here is a link to a photo in my blog (don't really know if permitted?). https://www.modelbouwforum.nl/media/3_dsc_0104_small.257905/ I really like your build quality and blog and going to follow.
