The gallery at the stern went together ok but having real problems at the bow the parts just don't fit.



going to have to scratch build or modify the second part.



It looks like it fits but not a chance

 

[Bri62]

Started to scratch build.

Coming on a real treat. Shame about the fit issue. Nothing you can't sort though especially if you indulge in another bacon butty or two to give you inspiration.

Jim, what really pi**es me off it the fact the kit was almost £800, I would have thought more care would be taken designing it.
After all someone in the design team must have built the ship?
