La Renommee 1744 1:48. (CAF) by Salty

I found it quite difficult to get a result I was happy with. It’s quite tricky with all those curved surfaces to get a nice thin glue line. Not perfect, but I’ll take it.
Good morning Salty. Yep I agree, definitely you can more than live with it - looks mighty fine. I don’t know if it applies to all CAF kits, but on mine I found that it gave very little leeway to remove the chaff. The frames were very cool with the bevel lines however on the beakhead and keel it fitted perfectly and to the correct measurements with the chaff. Any tiny extra removal meant a tiny gap and change of length- I made it work but like your it was “not perfect, but I took it” :D. So far you are owning this- kudos. Cheers Grant
