Can't argue with this fact, Mr. Portela!
I absolutely LOVE this build!
Mike's water effect's typically blow me away, and this is some of the finest, IMHO............

Hi Mike
Excellent, excellent - I can't find anything to point out that could be corrected or improved!
It is definitely one of your best models!!!! Congratulations, mate!
Mark, thanks for sharing it

PS: Hmm, I have to see the differences on my D-24 Tracker

Beautiful work Mike. The shading is first class on the deck. This kind of wear is something most people overlook.

Great build, I really like how you portrayed the water to give the build a sense of speed.
