Mike, thanks for posting that photo! I'm positive it's got to be the same Weasel as the camouflage on the front of the hull is the same. I wonder if the right side of the hull was painted as there doesn't appear to be any camo pattern on it. The ARN had already been painted out, as we know. The other Weasel had its ARN on the rear hull as well as both sides, so I suspect 139999 was the same. Perhaps close examination of Mike's photo might reveal something more, but I'm not sure the print quality of the book would allow that. I'll ask John to look for any evidence of a right-side spotlight being mounted on the front deck. By the way John has also been putting up photos of the rebuild over on the Weasel Board at http://www.m29cweasel.com
Steve.

Some photos of where the oz Weasel 'THE BOGONG GRUB' (the name found painted on the front of the hull) is up to. John has joined the two old hull pieces and the repro sponson floors together and is now putting the sides in place. They had been left off until final assembly to make it easier to get into and out of the hull. A standard pintle hook has been put on, hopefully one day we'll find an original swivelling pintle that this Weasel variant had.
Unfortunately the amount of work still to be done (heaps!) means it won't be attending the Bundy Swim-In in a fortnight's time as we had hoped.  Steve.

Steve don't be too disappointed it is amazing how much you and John have done on it so far. Hopefully we will see it at the swap meet.
'THE BOGONG GRUB' that is not in the photo we have of it, when do you think it was painted on there. Is Bogong a place? Cheers Jeff
