Included some pictures of my Fuso after a minor systems upgrade. She received new expansion tanks and a new manifold. The full brass regulator was replaced with one of the new aluminum (Yes, it's metal!) regulators from Strike. BBs were resined into the water channels in the torpedo bulge to make up for the diet and to increase stability. Weight was further added with the addition of resin-rock trim pieces (patent pending). I did not, however, make the superstructure any prettier. Nor did I replace the lost searchlight. Gone but not forgotten... Pay no heed to the non-organized wiring, its just there to freak Bob out. Enjoy!
Yup, the Fuso returns to SCRAP on March 6th. I've never had an on-board fire, but if I did I would know why. To be fair, it's actually more organized than the first Fuso. But that's not really saying much...
Did you use all new BB's, or save the ones people shot at you for ballast? If you want some help cleaning up the wiring at Nats, I would be glad to help out.
I think some of them were from inside the hull after the season was over, but mostly older copper ones I found in an old bucket. The wiring works great, its just ugly. And since nobody really sees the wiring i've never really worried about it. I could make it really pretty on the inside, but it'd probably lose a lot of reliability if I did.
