 Thanks for the reply's Karl,MWG iv contacted C/S about a replacment part,not sure about the filling as its an exposed part like the deck etching pieces,so its look is important on the finished model regards Andy Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Hi All the hull is now fully profiled using the templates suplied [ even though 2 are missing from the download,luckily these are at the stern]now all that remains to be done is the final filling and sanding before i decide wether or not to epoxy the hull on the outside to get a more steel like finish.But before that happens i need to fit the stern section profiles around the rudders and add some enhancements around the propeler hull area i have in mind regards Andy arpurchase attached the following image(s): Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

More pics on progress, i used the old hot iron trick to transfere the stencil image onto the underside of the deck.If your not familiar with doing this its quite easy, borrow the wifes iron,set it to highest heat [ get her to go shoping 1st  ] cut out the template line it up on the deck[correct side of course]then run the iron over the template the heat should then transfer the image.I had to do a little extra marking as the deck gratings cut out hinders /prevents transfer there,pics will make this apparent 'note' this method will work on 80% of plans so with the other 20% its the carbon copy paper transfer job.As usual all comments are welcome regards Andy arpurchase attached the following image(s): Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

A few more pics this time of the stern rudder fairings,i found the wood provided was of an extreamly hard grain/density but managed to compleat the rounding of the section as per instructions,Getting close to preparing the hull for painting now just need to add my deck edge enhancement to the edge of the planked area and if your wondering the decking will not be started untill all the hull is painted and assotiated bits added to the main hull.As ussual all comments are welcome regards Andy arpurchase attached the following image(s): Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .
