Oops. It was looking great so far.
I hope you can continue with it.

Too bad. I use wax paper (for cooking) on both sides of my laminated sheets when I'm pressing them. I've yet to find a glue that will stick to the wax paper yet.

Finally the replacement sheets arrived, so on we go.
The aft deck was glued to the skeleton. Doors, window frames and window shields were doubled. I cut off the bottom tabs of the superstructure walls and used a ground plate instead to glue them in shape. Then the were fixed to the deck. After that the front deck could be attached.

I couldn´t wait to close the hull. So I started with the port side. I punched the portholes and glued the three sections into place. The fitting was alright, small wrinkles at the stern I will try to conceal a little.

Hi Hans,

Excellent progress on your project despite the mishaps with the deck. Certainly a colorful and interesting camouflage pattern with those bright recognition stripes on the forward deck. Looking forward to the next updates.

Good work Hans, this will be a good looking ship

[Don Boose]

Beautiful! You are doing full justice to this fine ship.

Quality workmanship, as usual, Hans. Thanks for sharing!

Oh yes. Another good looking piece of work comming out of your shipyard. Glad to see this boat is underway again. And I like that red/white design to keep their own planes away.
