Hallo Zoly,
no I will not
In the past I put some very thin (30g/m2) paper in between the parts of the keel (see f.e. the La Salamandre)

LA SALAMANDRE, bomb ketch - POF - (CAF-models, 1/48)

Time is running.....now also the frames close to the bow are finished. In post 139 I showed already one of these at the sander. Some impressions of this status.....the frames 1 to 8 and all in the jig

shipsofscale.com

but due to the fact that there was in original structure no caulking between these elements - I will not show them.
It is a pure question of taste....... and seems, that my taste changed with the time ...... let us see how often I will change by taste in future

Ok thanks,I might use pencil

...in pressing the answer-button they´re gone - what a miracle!

..and now they returned together with mysterious marks and signs - I´m dazed and confused. I´ll stop reporting about bold and not-bold letters, better take my lunch and a drink.

I like using a pencil to indicate calking. I think the joints look finer and usually wont break like paper does sometimes. I like that you are taking the time to go over the construction in detail as with the others. looking forward to my turn at bat.
