      If you want to install a thrust bearing buy high quality In french material is INOX this metal will never rust

      SKF is very high quality



      For very high RPM SKF double level bearings

            If you like then, that's all that matters! The HOR32 is lacking in detail and I would love to do a scale paint job including all the hatches and arials and so on but I think I will leave that for a bigger hull....

              i think the whole point of a cheap build is to be simple too, i would just do a simple color. And invest the money on other parts of the build.

                    I' m agree, the MBP Racing DD is nice part and easy to use. I think I' ll glue air louvre on the hatch ...

                      You may want to paint those parts before you glue them on. Plastic parts benefit from an adhesion promoter such as Bulldog before painting - this will help to keep the paint from pealing or scratching off.

                        I agree, I think that would be a good way to go....

                              Looks nice but how are you going to keep the boat water tight now?

                                He can do a couple things, shadow box the bottom of the opening or a simple recess, fill, and black epoxy paint. Both are simple procedures.
