I have decided to build Lindberg's 1:95 scale Nantucket lightship kit as my next project and I have three questions. If anyone has had experience with this kit, my questions are:
1) My two hulls seem slightly warped when fitting together. If I glue the two hull forms together to try and reshape the fit, would I still be able to slip into place the deck without snapping anything on the hull?
2) Could anyone tell me what year is being represented with this Lindberg kit? Depending upon the year of vessel, I can get a better handle on the color scheme to be used.
3) Is the waterline color on vessel flat black or a dark blue? In some photos it appears bluish but others look black.
I am planning on installing led lighting for both of the lights on the masts and would also like to light the inside of cabins. Another reason why I want to install the decking last. In the directions, the diagram makes it look like The deck is glued to one side of hull, then adding the 2nd hull to complete. I had troupbe before using this method with Lindberg's Cap'n Kidd model kit.
Any suggestions /comments greatly appreciated.
