That sure looks Good! Is that a 1/25 scale kit from Craftmasters? Great job on a GREAT Boat.

I'm about to start building the Craftmasters 1/25 Pay' N Pak. Beautiful model! Question: the instructions call for an orange engine block. In recent pics it appears to be black. Has anyone seen the restored boat close up? Also, I haven't found any good, clear pics of the engine, both for color and hose/wire layouts. Appreciate any thoughts.
