Hi Cal,
I also had a problem with rib 14 on the right hand side. I ended up having to part cut the rib and re-glue, to get it to flow with the other ribs.
So i had to alter both 14 and 15 on the right hand side. Looks okay now though.
Jim

On the subject. Do you pack out the ribs to meet the decks or sand back the decks to meet the ribs?

hi stefan,when I put the decks in I had to sand a little off the deck straight edge,that made the deck correct with the formers,and only needed a few minor adjustments. Current builds: SotS, USS Consitution, San Felipe, D51 loco, HMS Surprise, RB7, Arab Dhow, Jotika HMS Victory Completed builds: HMS Pickel, Thermopylae, Mississipi river boat, Mary Rose, Cutty Sark, San Francisco II, HMS Victory x5, Titanic Lifeboat, Panart HMS Victory Launch, Hachette Titanic, Virginia Schooner, Endeavour Longboat. http://www.model-space.com/gb/

Thanks Gentlemen! Received my next set of issues this morning, but am still waiting for part 31 before fairing can be completed and planking started in earnest.
