Hey guys its been awhile sence i started building this mini mystic and well this is the second hull cuz the first one worped,, but sence i had such a hard time with the last one i figured this time i would start with the painting of the hull and then build it from there,,if you new my pain with the last one you'd no why!!!!well i got this hull from Befu who made it out of plastic,,Nice work dude too,,,

Wow!

That thing looks awesome! You should be proud.

I first opened this up and saw the boat, I thought "No wonder he hasn't been working on my little hull, he has this beauty!" Didn't even recognize it as the one I put together for you.

Can't wait to see one of them run, good job!

Thanks dude if you can beleive it theres 3 different neon yellows on there,,,sprayed it the first time and the color wasnt right it was to green so sanded and sprayed the next color and it was cracking up so i sanded it again then sprayed the 3rd yellow and went well but then the clear made the bottum inside the tunnel crack so yep had to sand the tunnel thats why i went with the epoxy white,,the 3 coats of clear,,,it was super hard to save my decals after all that but its ready to build now!!!

Lookin good Jerry! Very nicely done! Ive been slacking on mine. Been working on a couple other projects and trying to catch up. Then w/ the loss of the Mini Rio, may she rest in peace on the bottom, I lost one of my batts I got for my build. Ive about got all the parts together and hope to start her in the next couple weeks.

[Rumdog]

YES! Get it entirely out of the propwash if you can.
