The UL-125 is identical in design and construction to another boat, the UL-72 Pocket 
Mechanic (see photo below).  Photos of the UL-72 are available on the Internet as well.  It is 
a bright red boat with white trim.  Cut vinyl decals for this scheme are available from RC-
Hydros.com. 

 
Our prototype Pocket Mechanic was finished using Model Masters brand enamel, in the 
Guards Red color.  Two coats were applied over a base coat of Model Masters Classic White.  
Sanding between each coat was done with 1500- grit paper and water.  After the final red 
coat, the decals were applied and the boat was sprayed with two coats of Hobby Poxy Gloss 
Clear top coat.
