Hello!

I would strongly recommend looking at the thread "New Build: Airfix Wasa".  It is a terrific build complete with photos and an updated painting guide based upon modern research.  As for those sink holes, a little dab of ZAP, and a little sand paper will work wonders!

Good luck!

Need suggestions foe Airfix Wasa

I recently opened the box for Airfix's Wasa. I got it based on recommendations from this forum and I am initially impressed. The gun ports each have a sinkhole in them. I want to build it with the ports closed. Does anybody have any tips on how to fix the problem. It seems as though I will have a tedious job ahead of me.

Also, are there any accuracy or historic "fixes" I need to attend to. I want to build it for a friend who has visited he ship and want it to be a surprise and if I pepper her with questions, she will suspect. Anything I need to look out for in the kit?
