Some more progress pics. I've deviated from instructions as I'm still procrastinating on how I want to do the paddle wheels.

All went fairly well. I should have paid more attention to the alignment of the upper and lower decks to ensure that the supports at the rear were vertically up, though the result still looks OK. I'll put this down to a rookie mistake.

The flag pole on the pilot house looked naked so I added the 'stars and bars' not with the kit but I feel appropriate as it fits the ships service timeline. I'm assuming it would be more likely for a vessel that saw costal waterway service to fly this rather than a naval ensign.
