The front deck section as you can see is loose, i thought trying to spray the attached lower superstruture in place would be tricky, so sprayed off the hull. Going to spray the upper deck again off the hull and then fit the deck.

Have left off the fittings on the side of the hull, will fit later.

Also started painting the other superstructure bits.
