Chris,

First thing is do a complete inventry of all parts including all the white metal bits and the printed ply sheets. I was missing a couple of bits including the printed ply sheet for the rear of the bridge and the plastic tube for the cargo winch drum. Both were replaced after a phone call to Frank.

You should have a CD very soon with pictures of the Mountfleet kit and my own boat on it.

It might also be worth bearing in mind that I was advised by John Hemmens not to use the original stern tube but to get one made with proper roller bearings. This I did from the Prop Shop which was where I got my propeller from as well.

All the best

Richard
