Crescent Bullet

Hi All, new here. I thought you might like to see this Bullet. It was built about 40 years ago by Jeff Watts when he worked for Crescent Products. It was part finished (ready for spraying) when the company ceased trading. It ended up in his loft until I bought it from him a couple of months ago.
It came with a Super Tigre 40, and pictures of Jeff working at CP all those years ago. Although never delivered, it was ordered and built for Hanno Prettner, with the best balsa selected.
So far I have repaired the lifting wing veneers, made a rudder and ailerons, and sprayed the same. The engine I have removed, cleaned, freed up and run.
So far so good!
My other HP model is a Stratos, and favourite pattern model is a Wolfgang Matt Arrow (40 size), built in '81.
No idea how one posts pictures!!

Hello, the boat in the picture is a 1936 Blackwater Sloop, about 20'.
If you like trad boat work then I do have a Facebook page where I post most of the work we do each week. It's mainly so customers can see progress (or otherwise). Search Gates & Co Emsworth on FB.
