Chris Hi Chris, the difference is the step that the first plank sits on, it is angled to allow the plank to sit correctly. if you fit rib 12 back to front you will have to modify the step to get the plank to sit correctly.

Morning Firstly. The instructions don't say to sand at an angle on the top of frame 12 as the supports sit slightly higher to accommodate the high point. If you sand it to an angle you would therefore have to do the same to all the deck beams and lower the transom. If you didn't you would gain a dip in the deck where it is lower due to sanding. Also look at Jases build he hasn't sanded the top of frame 12 either.
The official build has had no problems with any fit. Therefore no sanding is necessary.Secondly. Jase says in reply "Hi Chris, the difference is the step that the first plank sits on, it is angled to allow the plank to sit correctly. if you fit rib 12 back to front you will have to modify the step to get the plank to sit correctly" He means the notch on the side of frame 12 where the first row of planks sit. As shown in my previous pic. It is not needed to be angled. But its builder choice if they wish to. It would be nice for Jase to clarify this.Chris Jases build pics. magpie1832 attached the following image(s): On the bench 1/350 Revell Tirpitz Platinum Edition (Pontos PE and Wooden deck) plus extra Eduard PE set and extra MK1 door sets.

Stage 19 step G clearly shows how the poop deck sits on frame 12 and it is exactly how Chris has it. I see no reason to sand anything. Even if there is a smaller contact area between deck and frame, it is not a piece under stress and there will still be a strong bond with PVA.

what a kerfuffle!!! this is what I mean, see pics below. i made a mistake thinking I had put mine on back to front but as correctly pointed out it will fit either way then you need to modify the rib.   I am up to date on my latest deliverys Now i have some bad news i am afraid. I have picked up a job that will probably take me most of the next 12 months but will impact on this build. sorry all but will be back on it soon as i can and i will continue to contribute to this build thread jase “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”
