Build of Bosphorus Cutter 1/50 scale

[Uwek]

Hello all, I am building my first model ship and have many questions.
Today's question is how to hold and cut 2 planks at same time?
My planks are .120" wide and not sure what wood they are but x-atco blade not cutting it
Properly....mostly issue holding planks securely. I purchased nice small wood plane and if
I can figure how to hold planks I think I can make 2 the same. Thanks for helping....

Hallo @Rcflyer
we wish you all the BEST and a HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Enjoy your special day

BTW: How is your work on the cutter going?

Yes Heinrich...I trim bottom of plank going down....seemed natural but my first build so was confused by instructions to trim tops of planks...could be bad translation of whatever language is above.

Hi Rcflyer

Maybe you finished your model up to now but I wanted to write anyway.

The language is Turkish and yes it's a bad translation (most probably goggle translation )

Forget the instructions.

It's only trying to say that if you dont trim the planking strips, they overlap to the next one.

It's the basic rule of planking.

@Heinrich and @Dean62 both well explained what has to be done.

If you have questions please feel free to ask. I'll help as much as I can.

Best regards from Turkey.
