G'day Euan,
Glad to see your about to get going on 4993. I was going to say about time but I haven't progressed to much on its mate from the same place.

I'll be watching with interest.

Regards Rick.

Hey Rick,
I have been slowly gathering bits & pieces so when the time comes I should have all the bits I need. the main missing part at present is an engine cover, I have the louvered top plate but no frame or sides.

That carrier looks an absolute gem!! Sandblast her and throw a lick of paint at it and she'll be sorted! An engine cover shouldn't be too hard to fabricate if someone supplied the dimensions (colin jones, you have made one of these before no doubt?)

Good Luck

Wow, I wish my hulls were as complete as that. It looks like it should still be registered with a cut'n'polish I can give you dimentions for the cover.
Excellent carrier.
Colin.

Default 4993 (Toolbox)

G'day Euan,

Do you know what the driver's tool box look's like or do you have a photo of one.


cheers for now
Ian
