Santa Maria 1:48 - Ships of Pavel Nikitin by Pathfinder65

The Stern decoration.

When I looked at other Santa Maria builds, the kit's plans and Pavel's webpage, I noticed builders either butted these pieces together or overlapped them.

When I centerd my Stern piece and tried to cover the window openings there was not enough edge left to butt the pieces. I sanded the center piece edges even with the hull and then added the side pieces.
