Are you going to sand them off or fill them in? Which ever way, I foresee loads of sanding in you immediate future!

Already sanded off as in the before and after photo's.
Lack of finger prints on fingers worth the effort.

Moving on.
With the moulded planking removed, time to replace them with deck plating.
Scribed the decks and some of the superstructure has been assembled.

nice work so far keep it up, my brother started his and then turned it into rc but changed his mind and turned it into batman ship (kpnuts) he does things like that just changes his mind once in a while by changing the models from what it should look like to something different.

I have seen his build, certainly a different slant on it. Not sure about the jet engine though. ;-)

I like the planking mate. This looks superb

[ojays]

Managed to get the excessively proud hull plates sanded down to a more acceptable level, also reduced the flange to the bow.
I have left a little flange bit in case I should have any collisions with any solid objects, or I want to ram any subs. ;-)

You're doing great work here (you've reminded me my bat boat has d stalled again) it's a massive project innit

Thanks, just don't expect me to fit a jet engine to it! ;-)

Coming along nicely.
If you need any info just let me know. I have a very good book on the Flower Class.
Are you going to do the hull rivets?

awesome work so far a real sand fest

[ojays]

After attempting to fit the bilge keels as per instructions/parts numbers E20-J61 & E1-J62, and failing to get them to mate up properly. I reversed to the opposite sides of the hull and Viola, they fitted perfectly.
Anyone else had this problem??

[Ian M]

Hmm now that you mention it my one might have been the same. Cant remember for certain though.

Only managed a little work recently, busy with family matters.
Opened up rear hatch for access to rudder linkage, raised a framework around main hatch to prevent water ingress.
A little primer blown over to highlight imperfections.

Not doing the hull rivets as too time consuming and modelling time for me is scarce.
