Panteg Models Posted October 25, 2023 Author #31 Posted October 25, 2023 First test coat of paint a little more filler and sanding required , although conscious it's a fishing boat and needs to be rustic. yvesvidal, Paul Le Wol and JacquesCousteau 3 Quote

BobG Posted December 16, 2023 #58 Posted December 16, 2023 I just found your build log of this model and you're doing a fantastic job. She looks great! I love these working vessels and this one is a beauty. I think Billings Boats has some very interesting models but the instructions look very brief so I've been hesitant to try one.
