John The ribs on mine are the same. I will glue strips to the rib so they are just proud and then sand them back to acheive a nice flow.

Thanks Jack, that seems to be the way but I would like the official word before doing that I think.

I can see that tomick is a man of few words,so I will not speak for him,but I will give you my opinion,the crew are getting restless again,what I think tomick and admin are saying is adjustments have to be made,fairing the contours of the ribs HAS to be done,by everyone,that includes rib 15. so what's the problem? that takes care of the exterior,if bulges appear on the outside, you have coc*ed it up.as for the interior,that can be adjusted as you go along.we are boat builders ar'nt we? so less of the moaning and lets see some more lego building,I recon the'll do a better job then us.

John Correct, you'll have to pack the gap with a thin strip which runs the length of the frame edge, and always check the flow of every plank across the frames before you secure it.

Thanks for the confirmation Tomick although it is at a slight variance with what you said earlier about sanding the deck to meet the frame which is why I asked the question. John

You misunderstood what I said, on the basis of all frames being aligned, the deck is sanded back to the frames, obviously this does not take into account any frame that is sat back from others, is shortfall equal on both sides of frame 18?

Great, thanks for that, can get on with it now with confidence. Yes and also on rib 19 although not so much. Thanks for your help. John

Sorry lads.  I have an idea which i shall investigate over the next day or so. My build was purposely left late, to enable the sourceing of all the salient parts of the hull. There may be an obvious reason as to why we are all (or most of us) getting parts which do not fully match up. I have had a few crap one's, but will go with the flow. I am just about to install the bulkheads and lower deck, then will check the 'flow' of the planking. Any experienced kit builder who's reading this, may now suss the problem. Watch this space.  See ya.
