I've done a fair bit since my last post. The 1st decks are on, and I've skinned the hull. It came out reasonably well - not the best but certainly not the worst I've seen
. The kit gives you NO margin for error on the hull skins.
Despite one of the best Fairing jobs I've ever done on a ship, and very accurate cutting of the sheets, I still managed to get a few very small gaps. I'm going to fill them with Testor's putty and touch it up with watercolors.
Cheers, Danny
