Hi Chaps,
I've decided to return to my S-Boat build to find that quite alot of parts have gone missing. Don't ask me how or why. I just blame the parts monster that lurks under my bench and munches on parts that I need when I'm not paying attention!
Not to worry as I've a secong one lurking in it's box under my bed!
So. Dragging out the huge box I pay more attention to the instruction book this time and wonder if the numbers given for the hull painting refer to specific lines. 74mm at the bow and 48 at the stern with a 6mm boot top (or plimsol line). Painting a 6mm thick line is no problem, but my problem is that he other numbers given. Does it refer to the TOP of the plimsol line or the bottom.
So do I mark out the plimsol line as being 74mm from the top of the hull so that 74mm of Schnellboot white 6mm of black line then the rest being dark grey:
or is it 74mm to the BOTTOM of the plimsol line so that the actual line between the black and white is 68mm + 6mm black line then the grey lower hull.
Like wise or the stern plate. Is it that the 48mm is to the top or bottom of the line
Answers greatly recieved.
