That rings bells! ;D
Back on the modelling side ... ominously, I can see no obvious Federal Standard colour match for Bondo Red. Beware of FS nutbar/rivet-counter reactions to any 1/24 portraits of your old rides :o
Kerick:
The Bondo spot putty I use contains red oxide so that’s the color. I’d stick with that.

I don't recollect having any remaining photos, probably because "admissible evidence".
This looks to be a good brown-color starting point, then add a decade of New England salt-weathering before it wound up with me.
Rust rot was in the quarter panels, IIRC
Now that we're triggering latent memories, I think the Bondo was more of a flat pink. Maybe that's due to how I mixed it?

Anyone else suddenly hearing Blue Öyster Cult ? ;D

All I remember hearing was what I could pull in on the AM radio, which was interesting on the maiden (solo) voyage.

Totally believable build, Story! I particularly like all the scale trees in the background ;)

From memory, the deeper the colour, the more 'sandable' the Bondo. For me flat pink needed a grater :o
Rod: Eagerly awaiting fresh developments ... and sorry for the on-going nostalgia hijack :-[
