A question:
1- You show the "tacking" of the Bow Planes mechanism but when, if ever, do you glue it finally?
By the by, do you know of any commerciallly available product that could be used as an aid to sawing the boat in half (a magicians trick if I ever saw one)? My nightmares increase.

You've probably had enough of my raspy voice by now. When and if Revell comes through with that replacement rudder let the rest of us know the procedure -- I'm sure your not the only one to screw things up on this kit.
Be more careful on the next one, damit! Those kits ain't cheap!
Yeah, I missed filling you in on the final gluing of the bow plane retract mechanism in place. At a later point -- once you're satisfied that the mechanism will operate the bow plane retract struts without binding -- you will indeed goop on significant amounts of gap-filling CA adhesive to permanently bond the retract mechanism to the inside of the bow.
You're looking for a store bought router holder -- but you need one that will hold a moto tools in such a way as to allow the narrow blade to make contact with the hull sides. Nope ... don't know of any commercially available.
Hey: knuckle down and make one like I show you ... why the hell do you think I went to all the time to illustrate how to make the moto-tool holder on the DVD, anyway?
It's not too tough: get some shelving board, some screws, glue and go to town! You'll use it later on the Revell 1/72 Type-7 kit when I get around to showing how to r/c that beast.
