Tim, this is an amazing project! Awesome! I have couple of Dumas 1:24 Chris Craft wooden kits, but mine only have the dark color mahogany deck and hull planks. Yours has the lighter colored wood insert on the deck? Was that part of your kit, or did you add it yourself? It makes the model look really good. Quote

Yea, the basswood inlays on the deck are part of the 21’ Cobra kit. I also have the 21’ Capri kit, and it has inlays as well, although somewhat different due to the additional seating area. Below are som updated pics of the nearly complete boat ant trailer. Quote
foghorn62 Posted April 28, 2023 Author Posted April 28, 2023 (edited) I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted any updates, so before it all goes under glass, here are a few pics. The boat and trailer are nearly complete. Just a few details to finish up, but for now, I am turning my attention back to the Chevy. I’m currently working on replacing the Stovebolt Inline 6 with a V12 LS3 Chevy that matches the two in the boat. I’ve had to move the firewall back to accommodate the V12, reroute the steering shaft, and make a few other minor adjustments, but it’s coming along well.

I hope that someday I can make mine justice. You are welcome Peter! I’m not a big fan of the Dumas kits, but I must admit, they do come out as a nice boat. Take your time and have fun with yours. If you have any questions that I can help with, don’t hesitate to contact me. I’m happy to help any way that I can. TS 1 Quote
