Hello Heinrich, I think that's what he means too, at least I had understood it that 1:48 is easier than 1:78. I can be wrong too.

Good morning Kef, I ask, shouldn't the headers of the planking happen between the frames but above the frames, the under-beds are not assembled and from Kit? Thanks

Hi Frank. Really sorry, but l am not sure what you are referring to in your question. Sorry. All l can say is the deck is built according to the drawings supplied with the kit and so far it is fitting (amazingly) exactly as it should. At least, if l have interpreted them correctly.

Kef, it doesn't matter, it's the translation that doesn't make us understand, but, Thanks for answering me
Maybe the kit does not come with those parts,

bet you didnt take the exact measutement for the top of the keel post to part %a the top ofthe transom
Ifb so can you let me
know
THANKS
Hi Keef,
What Frank means is that the joints of the planks should meet on top of a frame and not between two frames.
Actually I think for the outside planking of the hull that is true, as you need to water tighten the joint but on the inside ceiling of the hull that is of lesser importance. Actually the inside ceiling was not caulked.

You can take this measurement and all measurements you will need from the scale drawings of the hull side and top views which are provided with the kit

ive got the same problem (Different frame) but it can be pulled in and i guess (Hope!) that when we fix the filler pieces it will get it all ship shape and Bristol FashionLooking very good - you are producing a very nice ships-hull my friend!
No.15 is this one, or (red arrow)?

Yes, this is the necessary learning curve.....
but I think it will be not a very big deal. The frames are long enough and flexibel, so I am pretty sure, that you can relatively easy bend the top of the frame 15 parallel with the others. I guess you have to fix all ends of the top timbers temporarely with a strip (green line) before you are able to make the internal sanding inside the hull.
BTW: Did you read my last question in post #84?
Ive glued most of the frames 2- 49 ! will do the others when my back allows me Cant do cant frames on the bow till i get a new no one frame which has gone somewhere - often loose a tiny piece of a model but never a complete frame
