Hey Bird, I'm glad you took the plunge and got the Quickbeam back on the road. Something that gives so much joy deserves to be repaired and brought back to life. Plus, its not like you could go out and pick another up! The paint work on yours looks stunning!
I think I mentioned it on the other thread but my QB also has a few gaps along the shorelines. The gaps that I can see are just the ones visible through the paint. Its possible there are more but the paint is not very thick to begin with. If I ever get around to making a few mods and repainting, I'll surly be adding filler in those joints. I am curious as well, what joints were left open? To new life!
