Hi all,

I purchased this kit as a practice model and have now completed the first two stages of the build. I have followed the instructions but have chosen to stain the exposed parts of the ribs as I did not like the exposed ply,

have a look and see what you think please,

Hi all,

clamped the decks in place, the clamps are a bit heavy but could not find plastic ones with enough depth in my local shops.
