Hi Everyone:
I'm building the Heller Nina kit and I have an odd problem. I was wondering if anyone who had built the kit could advise me. The problem is that after the stern is fitted in place, the 2 bulwarks parts on either side of the stern will not align with the rest of the hull. That is, if the rear of the bulwarks and deck rail are aligned with the stern, the front of the bulwarks/deck rail are hanging in the air and a large piece of filler would be needed to close things up.
It seems very peculiar that the model would be designed like that. I have two kits of the model and both have the same problem. Any help would be appreciated. Also, if a piece of filler is needed what would be the best material; use a piece of plastic or wood, maybe stuff the gap with putty.
Thanks very much.
