ISSUE 11 BUILD I sanded the edges of the decking, and followed the build instructions, plus Mr T`s official build and fitted the deck. I had pins available so I used them I would not fit decks without the pins anyway. Because I was careful with my measurements when I fitted the Balsa infills the decks went down without any trimming. I used the correct size dowel to imitate the Mast, so it was an exact fit.:- MWG attached the following image(s): MWG BUILD DIARIES: HMS VICTORY, SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS, SAN FRANCISCO II, HMS HOOD, HMS ENDEAVOUR LONGBOAT, HMS VICTORY X-SECTION, 007 DB5, NISSAN GTR, CUTTY SARK, RB7, AKAGI, BARK HMS ENDEAVOUR, HUMMER H1, MITSUBISHI ZERO.

Hi Peter, the ends of the ribs are very porous and the PVA will be sucked in so not giving the very best of fixes,that is why we should pin at the same time, I have just added the other adhesive because I have the benifit of the Balsa for it to adher too, its really belt and braces Thank you for asking Kind Regards Mike MWG BUILD DIARIES: HMS VICTORY, SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS, SAN FRANCISCO II, HMS HOOD, HMS ENDEAVOUR LONGBOAT, HMS VICTORY X-SECTION, 007 DB5, NISSAN GTR, CUTTY SARK, RB7, AKAGI, BARK HMS ENDEAVOUR, HUMMER H1, MITSUBISHI ZERO.
