Good morning IanL.1, thanks for your message - just trying to catch up. In short, the answer to your question is no. This was a kit from TRUMPETÈER which my stepson bought and then couldn't take on so my wife bought it from him for me. I wish I was that talented in the scratch build department, however - God willing, health and eyesight withstanding I might get there as plenty of encouragement from everyone on this site. All the best with regards to 3d printing, again something I'm interested in but no room in the inn so to speak 😊

Hi, Beautifully crafted. Did you make all the deck fittings like the guns etc.
I am about to invest in a 3D printer so I can make my own for the model Venice water taxi as I can't find any supplier to help with them.
Cheers
Ian👍

THAT MAN! Very well done Sir👍
BRAVO ZULU!
