From Ensign Gehman's excellent broadside photo, we can see CGC Active still employs her boat lifting hoists, rather than a crane and boat cradles.
This is a fine way to show how to install this bits for use in the instructions.
Thanks again for looking in!

Ha! The sacrificial paper template isn't new or secret. He does a lot more fiberglass laminating, welding and soldering than I do.
This was the technique Francisco would have used on his 110, but he wanted to start with a block of basswood, rather than foam.
That, and his cool cutter floats. All my LPP models go straight to the bottom with no hesitation.

Forward gun mount and ready ammo locker placement. The round and modern gun platforms mount in the same place.

Joining the 1/350 US Coast Guard aircraft fleet are a WC-130H Weather Herk, and HO4S-2G Chickasaw egg-beaters. I sure wish I could find a better 1/350 C-130H This one soaks up Tamiya X-22 clear like a sponge. It isn't for a contest or casting, so I suppose an improved toy airplane isn't really necessary. Teresa caught me flying the C-130 in the living room. Just having a WC-130H around is sure to prevent any hurricanes here in Iowa.
