Don I dont know if it makes a difference, but I continued to plank upside down. I just found it much easier and sturdier. Also take a look at @craftysailor Egor's log of the Leudo. He is almost at this stage.

@egen Dear Egen. Thank you so much for the beautiful pictures of the Leudo. This is an exquisitely finished model (I especially like the green, black and white hull). To be very honest, I built the model up to hull-completion stage to gain experience in the upside-down build format of Falkonet. When I finished the hull, my admiral expressed interest to carry on with the build. Maybe these pictures will inspire her!

DEAR FRIEND TELL ANNA I SAID DO IT. GOD BLESS STAY SAFE YOU AND ANNA DON
