Thanks fellas. I ended up using thin CA for the rudders, I think given the tight fit they should be ok.

Got the boat all together ready for paint. It's a doddle after the Flower Class!

Primed in XF-19 (I ran out around 95% through haha)

Preshaded in XF-85

First grey on. A custom mix of XF-19, maybe a little lighter. Similar to what I used on the Flower. Post Shaded with lighter mixes.

That was then masked off.

Ready for the deck and underside!

The deck was painted with essentially the same mix that I used for the dark grey on the Flower Class, I'm afraid I can't remember what I used. The Antifoul paint on the hull was again a custom mix of XF-85 and white, with a splash of blue. Both were postshaded with lighter mixes.

She's had a coat of Klear and just need the waterline decals applying tomorrow before weathering can begin!
