I've done some work this past weekend. The dummy gun supports were cut and glued as well as the supports beams for the second deck! Decided to follow others and used 5 mm dowel stick to support the support beams. The support beams are much stronger with the dowel sticks in place! I'm considering to follow Alan (Gandale) with the prow. Alan cladded the prow with walnut and it looks marvelous!  Althought mine is already glued I want to steam it loose and then cut the prow out of 1/8" (3.15 mm) solid wallnut. I know it is thinner than the 4 mm plywood but don't think it will make such a difference. Enjoy the building   Kobus

Another update for the day. Painted the launch with a wood primer. Tested the Humbrol RC417, ivory white, but it seems green?  The stick on the right is painted white.  Regards Kobus
