Wow I'm an a roll, another day with spare time.
Keeping in mind other builders comments, I re-enforced the kit hull braces before fitting them inside the hull.
The joint done yesterday required a little green stuff, and plastic rod cut offs glued into the holes drilled for alignment.
These will be cut level with the surface.
I have removed the porthole eyebrows, and removed the excess flash in the portholes themselves.
Next job is to wet sand the hull sides to lower the over scale plating, and remove the large flange to the bow.
I will keep the flange to the lower hull area, as this would usually never be seen, and it will keep hull joint strength.
The bow will need to be re-enforced internally to make up for the loss of the external flange
Who knows I might even get some more spare time tomorrow!!
