Well back on the build again, as I need to do as much as I can for the next couple of months.
Just found out the shoulder problem I have been seeing the physio for the last 2 years for, needs replacing.
Bit of a shock, but hey-ho that's life.
Having now decided to build as a dynamic diver, I have increased the area of the diving planes by 30% on advice from others who have converted this kit.
A combination of plasticard and green stuff used for this. (Apparently if left scale size they don't bite enough to push the hull under)
The PE decking is now permanently fitted to the upper hull sides, a lot harder than I thought it would be to achieve. Hopefully when painted it will be worth the effort.
No decision yet on whether to fit the PE Side Hinge Plates, but as they contain a lot of detail left off the kit parts I will probably persevere.
