Thank you for sharing.

ps: if my memory is not failing there is a Daihatsu Class Landing Craft paper model somewhere in the web.
Hi Pablo, you are welcome. I have had a look at the Diahatsu landing craft, but it is unavailable to download at the moment.

Some progress.

The bow section proved to be a little under-size, so some chopping and changing was required here. Don't worry, I have redrawn these parts and they should be in the download section as an addendum soon.



This also shows the new side supports for the deck. These double as supports and a good base for attaching the ship side parts.

Bow section glued-up.



The midships parts require some trimming. Bottom section is removed and 1mm trimmed from the top



This is glued to the base at midships outboard of the centre supports.

The companionway decks are now glued between superstructure elements.
