She is looking real good. I was tempted with this model when I was in Spain a couple of months ago. Should have bought it as it was a lot cheaper than here

PLANKING THE HULL Hi Team, I continue planking the Hull, just a few photos of planks which I soaked in boiling water for 20 mins then I pinned them wet to the hull so when they are dry they will take the shape of the Hull.:- 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.

PLANKING THE HULL I fitted the formed planks to the Hull, then I soaked and formed some more etc etc, its a slow process but rewarding. Please note how I have shaped the planks to fit the Hull and left a triangle to fit the "Dropper":- 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.

PLANKING THE HULL Well Team just a couple of photos, where I have soaked 3 more planks and pinned them onto the Hull to dry and form their shape. The balsa fillets on the Bow have really done their job,producing a nice curve on the Plank :- Thanks for watching, Mike 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 Mike I ordered the kit ages ago, 1st to be told that not all parts were in stock then to be told none were in stock and that they had no idea when it would be in stock. Then they tried to take the entire cost of the kit out of my acc[ i did get an appology for this],so i basicly gave up and bought the Swift kit instead. I might try to get again sometime in the future Andy Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .
