Hi just to let you know this is my first build of plank on frame, have been wantin to have a go at one for last 20 years just never had the confidence , till seen this one . Particularly the step by step intructions. Yes i have made few mistakes , but worked round them. The stern decoration has all been painted off model . And glue them on after . The central strips with thin yellow edges were painted full length strips . Using tamiya maskin tape . Then cut to length to fit all other strips were painted off model free hand. Anyway all enjoy your builds , and go at your own pace.took me 2 years to get this far. I enjoy my time on her very much. Cheers mick.

Very nice work Mick, I found those castings a bit of a tight fit too because I customized the borders on the gallery, I had to shave a bit of width off each casting to squeeze them in BigGrin
