1/250 USS Monitor 1862 build.

This will be a build report on the 1/250 USS Monitor 1862 by InPaperDesigns that just became available at www.ecardmodels.com. The kit is waterline and has options for both during and after the Battle of Hampton Roads. I will be doing a step by step build showing both options for building. I am building it right now, so I will provide updates as I go. My best to all.

Test fit B1 inside B5, and trim till just slightly snug then set flush with bottom. Make sure that the blacked out area is in front of the gun openings and the line at the bottom is lined up with the seam in the back of B5. Then glue from the inside.

If you are not going to install the Canon’s then cut out B6 which is the gun doors.
