Wow!!!! All this scratch work is worth the every bit of detail you can throw at it given the fact that the engine on this boat is a showcase. Given that fact, add as much to it as you can and it will fully compliment the hard work you put into the scratch building there Dale.

David, the cab took a bit of clean up, but some super glue in the pit holes and plenty of Auto spray putty got her smooth with out too much troubles mate. Making the interior was the big hassle with the cab.
