That scale issue is odd :rolling: I wonder who has got it wrong - Airfix or OcCre?

According to Wikipedia the deck length was 31m.

Although I've not actually been on it, more than once I've had coffee opposite the replica that's in a dry dock off the Thames. The thought of circumnavigating the globe in something that small is mind-blowing not to mention terrifying....

Moving on at pace Peter. Should be good when completed.

Started the planking and I am not too fussy as it's double planked.

[peterairfix]

Finished the first layer of planking.

[peterairfix]

I thought I would give this one another go as I am a bit bored with pe on the Bismarck so I have started the final layer of planking.

Hi Peter
That layer looks neat. On these double planked ships is the outer planking thinner and so bends easier? Looks a different wood as well.

Luckily yes and it does not need soaking to bend it.

[peterairfix]

Finished off the final layer of planking but still needs a lot of work
