Ok, one minor operation, the, at least, big scuppers.

Then Paint Part Whatever .. it's enough to know that this was a part I was afraid about ... the green paint ...
I used a mixture of Tamiya Masking Tape & Humbro Maskol. The pictures shows this pretty clear I guess.

And the result ... not that bad ... better the the first try

So the last frightend challenge will be using clear paint for the whole hull ...
Damn damn damn, I f*****g hate paint & clearcoat catastrophics ... right top and bottom green decided to p**s me off ... I tested it as I know it was a critical combination ...hmpf ... guess I have to live with ...

Two impressions of the actual state of the hull ...
