It was quite at work today so I made a start at milling out the old pins and making new scale steel pins on the lathe I'll go though all the linkages so I know they will be strong and free if I need to remove them later on .. Dale

Today was a great day for spray painting so I gave the protec kharki green number 3 a go on the stowage boxes , It took a while and a bit of practice to get it on even . Dale

Hi Dale, 1/4 and 5/16 UNF bottom taps would cover it.

The outside of the hull is now re primed ready for green , motor coming out next week , then tidy up the inside ready for green as well . Then start to fit her out .. I've been working on the floor plate in spare time at home . In the second photo you can see when I removed the crank handle cover at front , I found some light yellow WW2 paint would this be faded camo or desert yellow . Dale
