                        Are you planning on doing the early or late version? Or Lafayette for whatever reason.

                        Very nice work on the hull-width fix.

                        BRM says "Resin Hull - Hollow & Split at Waterline and keyed for nice fit."
                        (Guess they changed the lock for that key.)

                        I have run into similar issues with some resin ironclads.

                        This is a rather expensive kit IMO, so take it slow. 

                         

                             I'll be following along.

                        Nice job on the hull joining. After that, the rest should be easy. Wink

                        Very nice, I have the same kit in my backlog and am looking forward to working on it eventually. All I’ve don’t with it is make a stand, and clean up some of the parts just to get an idea of what she’ll look like.

                        I’m looking forward to seeing how yours turns out.

                        I’m giving my first resin model a try, a 1/700 SS Normandie. Unfortunately, the bottom half of the hull was considerably wider than the top. This has taken a bunch of time and aggravation to join but it seems like it looks reasonable enough to proceed. I epoxied some nuts to the inside of the hull so I can mount it to a display stand.
