Ahoy, recently beginning my first kit. Before starting i ventured into doing a little research knowing this wouldn't be a breeze, nervously confident to begin I started to construct the very first step - bulk heads to false keel.
When dry fitting the bulk heads i quickly realised they seem to be taller then the keel ? Roughly 1 - 3mm when sitting flush at top of keel as the instructions suggests. Do i proceed to sand them down ? Any advice will be a big help 16722672424998615470903231136628.jpg

Hi Jward,
Looking at your second pic,I would think the bulkheads should be level with the top of the keel.
Personally,I would raise them rather than pushing them all the way down.

Excellent !! Cheers for your input tomoinoz. I am waiting patiently for my work bench to arrive and I'll be getting to work immediately.
