Modelik 1/200 USS San Francisco...

It also looks like they should be closer to the center line, when compared to plans. This goes back to my original observation. Major design flaw! bummer:(

This would not have been a problem for me as I would have made this a waterline model. But if you want a full hull, it's a pain to have to fix things like this.

I also remember Modelik does provide some coloured areas for just in case if some part went wrong. Would that be enough to make a few hull skin from? Or if not, just a few patches? It's also worth considering putting longitudinal paper strips on the hull to simulate the real texture of the underwater hull surface [and covering up the disaster zone in the process]

On the off-topic, I'm still brushing up my skills to prepare for the eventual day that ship will come to shape, still time to come though thanks for asking

I keep thinking if the design below the waterline is bad, then the design above the waterline is probably just as suspect! I saw that someone (maybe Halinski) was coming out with a version of San Francisco. I'm going bail on this model and keep my eye open for that one.
