Good evening from 'The Dockyard'. This weeks update of my U230 U-boat build continues with laying mahogany planking on the aft casing. The attached photo shows a mahogany plank being marked out for length. Sticky Wickett attached the following image(s): Completed projects: 1/43 scale Bedford HA van / 1/43 scale MG TD sports car Current projects: 1/48 scale U-boat [U230] Future projects: 1/148 scale railway diorama / 1/50 scale R/C Volvo F89 logging truck / 1/148 scale Thunderbirds Fireflash

The marked out plank was then cut, ends gently filed and glued in place. The attached photo shows the plank glued down and the gap being checked with a 0.25mm spacer [scrap off cut ].
