Hi everybody,

is it difficult to shape the front of the akagi ship?
I have shaped it a little bit from the instructions, just worried if i do it too much it will look strange.

Does anyone have any ideas?

kind regards

Patrick

Hi Patrick and welcome to the forum. I assume you are referring to the bow block and what I did for this was to roughly shape it by not as much as the instructions say and then when the planking is complete and you fit the bow in place then to shape to fit then. I did the same too for the stern block. Hope this helps and good luck on your build it good to see another akagi build on here.
