Hiya, It is around 5-6 mm above the deck line showing. I will have a look through your pictures when I get them to load and see if I can see where the problem lies. Otherwise it would mean adding a plank in. But wait until I have looked before you do.

Now you have all the Parts for Pack 4, If you look at stage 34 and temporarily fit the next gunport strip. Measure from the inside of it from the deck to the top and let me know if it is 20mm at both ends of the lowest point.

Chris Yes both sides are 20 mm at both places. Terry FINISHED BUILDS---- HMS Victory--Bismarck--Battleship Yamato-D51 Steam Train--Pocher Ferrari Testarossa--Soleil Royal--Schnellboot S-100--StageCoach 1848--HMS HOOD-- Delorean (Back to the Future)

Ok then all you need to do is add a tapered strip. Take a planking strip and taper it from nothing to 2-3 mm keep testing the gun port strip on top of it to get it to stick up 3mm at the front. That should then be correct for you. Luckily you can get away with a couple of mm. Hope this helps you. Chris.

Thanks Chris I assume you mean the front gun port strip not the second one? Thanks again Terry FINISHED BUILDS---- HMS Victory--Bismarck--Battleship Yamato-D51 Steam Train--Pocher Ferrari Testarossa--Soleil Royal--Schnellboot S-100--StageCoach 1848--HMS HOOD-- Delorean (Back to the Future)

Very well done Terry, nice to see you're back on track with this one.... Regards Alan

Nice work, although where the gun port hits a rib you could have marked the gun port and then rebated the rib so the gun port blank slides in side ways to fill the gun port neatly Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .
