Hi sean. Looking good so far mate. ref the planking side of the model, my first go at planking a model was the hatchette bismarck also done radio controlled. i did not have to many problems with this, following mag instructions. Plus the bismarck was double planked. once it was sanded and a bit of wood filler here and there gave it a very good finish. Hope this helps, Ian  Current builds.Hachettes build the bismark,HMS Victory, HMS Hood.
Finished Builds Corel HMS Victory cross section.

It states on the label that it is 'weatherproof', which is different from being 'waterproof'. Will have a look at their website just to see. TIS

It states on the label that it is 'weatherproof', which is different from being 'waterproof'. Will have a look at their website just to see. TIS 'Weatherproof' is fine, because it is on the basis that joints with it are not immersed in water, but in fact are overpainted or sealed which creates the seal; you must use an appropriate water sealer as previously mentioned, end ensure that the hull planks are glued along their full lengths to each other as well as to the framework.
