Hello all I am new to wooden model ships I am building the INGERMANLAND model ship. I need help with the planking.

The model is mostly in Chinese and I did find mistakes in where parts go. The website did show 2 small life boats my kit didn't have. Other then that I an very happy with the kit. I will add pictures of the instructions and the finished model. I will also add pictures of my model. My question is where do I start my planking. I know that i will have to feather cut some the planking. Feather cuts I mean the ripped taper of the planking. I hate to find out once I start planking it's wrong and have to remove it.

Looks like you are doing a fine effort so far. You will need to taper the second planks near the bowsprit.
