    Hi All
    Here are a couple of Pic's of the new boats I collected this weekend, plus I have agreed to make a boat for one of our friends in Air Force training down in Bolixi, Miss, a German PE, and will be starting it before to long. Went from having most of my boats completed, to 3 in the shop at one time, only took 2 days for them to add up, like rabbits. I convinced Frank to make the super for the PE so it will not be to bad.
    The Radezty
    Frank just completed the super for me, he sure does nice work. I need to complete the window cutouts, install the internals and guns, and sheet it. It may be ready for next years convoy duty. The forward sidemount will be a nice addition, with the ability to reload it every 5 minutes. I think the twin sterns will be off the otherside at 15 deg, so both sides will at least have some protection. She is nice and short, with twin rudders.

    The Nagato
    Next year's Nats boat, if Don is not too mad at me for switching sides, LOL.
    I got this Nagato from Rick, I was going to make one, but was not looking forward to making the super for it. Again, I just need to add the internals, and guns, and I will be ready to rock and roll. I think I will replace the rudders, I really like the ones I made for the Duke, and will copy those for a class 6 boat. That is once the garage cools off enough to work on them.

    Those are both really nice looking boats.
    The little one should be a nasty little customer.
