1966 Aurora Wanderer Whaler

In test fitting the aft cabin I discovered that the instructions as written with the part numbers are backward. What the clue was is the position of the windows and door frames. If you look at the doors, the cross braced are in two different locations (higher than others), so I had to switch sides on the parts. Door framing is lower and some higher. The bow foredeck and windlass are in and detailed. When possible, I try to attach the eyelets to the pulleys without tying, neater that way. The pulleys/blocks that came in the kit (white ones) are near identical to the Revell Models versions, so I use those as they give me more choices and style. I'll use the plastic deadeyes and chainplates but will hand rig the shrouds as the preformed plastic one are WAY out of scale.
