I've just replaced the nameplates on my Midwest Fantail Launch "Firebird" with nice brass ones from PPS Steam Models:

Thanks to whoever it was who pointed out these plates (James?). They are ideal.

The only problem is, they now show up the ageing paintwork that I had to touch up after removing the old "temporary" ones (which had been temporary for many years!).

That looks great Roly.

Very nice boat. You inspired me not to sell mine now.

I'll never get another.
