Great video. A suggestion - if you are going to use text in a video, try to make it large enough to read on a 15" monitor. ;)


If you raise the strut 1/16" to 1/8" you can lose the hop.

Thanks, The text did turn out to be in too smal font:ThumbsDown01: -that´s why I included the same text on the first post :thumbup:

Will raise the strut after the hull is painted.

Rosso Chiaro, molto bene! Is the shield going on the bow? How are you doing it, decals or paint? Mi piace tanto!!!

[FastVee]

I cant paint that much detail... :doh: -decals then.

thinking of doing ferrari text on sides, badge on deck and maybe smaller ones on rudder.
