    Windscreen template

    Does anyone have a proven method for obtaining the windscreen shape of a boat, or better yet does anyone have a template for the windscreen of a H&M NS3

    Any help really appreciated

      Thanks Andy, but the NS3 has a ditch in the hatch where the sticker is meant to sit and I cant seem to get it just right with a template

          Yeah Jimmy, just mask and paint it - it will be faster than using a decal!

          Just put some decent masking tape all around the edges - extending into the area you want to paint - then use a sharp hobby blade to follow the indent. Remove the excess from the painted area, then mask the rest of the hatch and paint away.

          That's all I did with mine, and it looked good - just ask Paddy!

              I am going to put outriggers on her Andy. That will make her handle. I like the job Scott done on that boat.
