FITTING THE GALLERY REAR AND SIDE PANELS I decided to glue and pin the gallery panels, I wanted to make sure the panels had more than just adhesive holding them on, because of the weight they are going to carry with all the ornate metal work. I followed the instruction and Mr T`s Official Diary, in fixing the panels together, I do feel that the balsa infills I fitted to this area, made my job easier, and of couse I have no gaps, I hope the photos help you:- 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.

FITTING THE GALLERY REAR A SIDE PANELS Next job was the side panels, all the way through this process I used clamps including short and long bars, and I steamed the side panels to assist with setting the curve when dry:- 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.
