Fittin in a bow thuster the real ship does not have this but I thought I needed to fit one to control the front part of the ship in a windy situation
cutting hole in hull for the B/T
an its fitted in ok an works an it dint leak when in the wet stuff
Nxt pics sprayin on the hull the red anti foul 
NXT pics removein the paper an its a nice sharp line 
AN the grey top coat 
in this nxt pic I cheated a bit by fittin a car stripe for the black water line an I think it came up good saved a lot of maskin up 
an it wont wear off 
HERE in the top assess bay I fitted tiny magnets to hold the panlel in place 
AN now she is beginning to look like a super carrier
