I was able to get most of the hatch decals on. Once I get the windshield I can do the canopy hatch decals and lay some clear.

I've been having mixed feelings about the Turbine Marine Inc decal being silver on silver. So I had an idea to use it as a stencil and use some True Blue Pearl lacquer and hand paint slashes over it. Here's what I came up with:




Tomorrow I will go over it and remove the remaining decal adhesive and lightly wet sand it.

I also added 2 tiny decals on the bow and stern... Honor, Guts, Glory

Well she's all cleared! Only thing left is somehow get the cooling line back on the transom fitting lol. Final polishing will be done in a week or two when I go home for Christmas break.
