Check your part #'s, I'm about 1/2 way done from bow, I don't think any were short. All moderately long.
make sure your deck beams are fit/spaced properly.

no 3 is too short and one is in twp parts
a carlin is 25.49 and 1.7
b is 27,58

plan is #
a 30.00
b 2l9.68

i cant understand why there are 3 parts

 

[richardjjs]

if you look at the last photo it shows the three parts 3 and the plan - nothing fits its too small ~~
Rest but will check

Bi more further information on my struggles building the kit
As you know Gun Ports are part of the frame with top and bottom sills
The Planking needs to be cut about a mm short of the port all round so the Lids can fit in to form a seal
This is impossible if you fit the planking and then cut the ports
There are no Lids provided
Step 118 does "Show" this
I must admit i am struggling

Richard, appears you have incorrect carlings based on slots for cross pieces.
I am past this but cannot recall mismatches with slots.

First off, given your issues, IMHO not super critical should you wish to make them flush.
That said should you desire them, a far more straight forward approach( which i will likely follow) is to plank, cut/trim ports and when satisfied use some thin stock to line inside of the ports leaving them a bit short of planking for desired approach. Far less complicated for desired effect.

All caught up with the stern counter timbers now, so now I can finish the internal planking (ceiling and thick stuff).
