Hi not bin around for a while lost me mojo on plastic. Got this for me birthday so thought I'd make a start, was going to do basic kit Without sails, but my kit came with them in,still not decided if going to use them or not yet,built up the skeleton, planked all 3 decks the main deck had 3 coats of Matt varnish, the front and back decks not varnished yet,on the main deck there is a top and bottom because one side of cabin wall sticks out further, so double check your planking the right side of it,other 2 decks symmetrical so not matter which side you plank, more soon cheers mick.  mogwai attached the following image(s): Builds hms victory, suzuki gsx 1300 R hayabusa, honda C B 750, lamborghini countach L P 500 S, tamiya 1/16 rc full option tiger 1 tank,
