After a long but enjoyable process the detailing is finally completed. Compounding, with areas of wet sanding has bought back to original gelcoat colour. Replaced all decals and hullstripes. The ceramic coat has given it a great gloss and hopefully long term protection, considering the boat is stored indoors.
She has a new name. The “Shady Lady” was my partner’s nickname for it as we waited for it to be shipped from the US. A bit of googling revealed it was also a US crewed B17 Liberator bomber that flew out of Darwin with the RAAF during WW2. That fitted with my interest in WW2 aircraft. The “Shady Lady” was a pretty lucky plane as well. I used the original font from the B17.
An interesting read.
