Thanks, Don, thanks, Mor.
Well, I've been working in the hull squeleton, but I need to fall back again. I've been designing the hull like a balsa model, but it's not, and the spars are too weak to prevent combing.
So I'll need to go full "flying boat" and build the hull like a ship. You can see the diferences in philosophy comparing a Willow's PBY Catalina against two RMS Mauretania that I assembled two years ago.
Luckily, I'll just need to join the ribs, change the placement of some grooves and fatten the spars.
