Get well soon, Francesco!
Looking really good Sico, I’m well underway developing an allergic reaction to the CA glue. The price we pay for love ...Then .. restore self-esteem as a model maker ..... I started planking inside.
For now I have not found it necessary to moisten the wood. I limited myself to bend the wood with a little while warm.
For the glue I did not use the CA like Chello because ... I used too much in my past as a model aircraft maker and now I'm allergic.
I used a contact glue
This is the result

Hallo my friend,By the way, I have a question for Usek, the lighthouse that guides my erratic going to sea ..
What are the dimensions of the window you intend to leave? From which rib and to what rib?
And in height from which strip, from the bottom?
Thank you in advance for your kind reply
thanks Uwek.Hallo my friend,
first of all my compliments - for the correct step to correct the small error with the clamps and especially for the very good progress you made.
With window, I guess you mean the openings in the outside hull planking?
In moment - I do not know exactly
This photos are showing the CAF model, and I like this way very much. I think, that I will decide than final during the real outside planking progress

Due to the fact, that I do not know exactly now, I decided also to make some further work on the interior, so I see later on better, which parts of the interior is visible through the frames and which not
Great work Sisco. Hoping to find some time tomorrow to continue with the inner planking. Did you have to take the same measures as Uwe did with the stern section of the inner hull planking?Hello to all.
I have finished the internal planking of the hull. Apart from a further effort of sanding it seems to me finished. I am more satisfied with the result in the bow than in the "puzzle" of the stern .. but let's go on
Hi Chello, how are you?Great work Sisco. Hoping to find some time tomorrow to continue with the inner planking. Did you have to take the same measures as Uwe did with the stern section of the inner hull planking?
Hi Sisco, I’m doing well but have not had the time to do any work on le coureur. Admirals orders you see, she’s having me building the kitchen and I fear her wrath if I don’t obey. Feisty little thing she is.Hi Chello, how are you?
I haven't seen any signs from England in a while.
Coming to your question ...
I must say that I found it practically impossible to do precise work with the puzzle pieces in the kit and had to cut several pieces to try to find an almost acceptable composition.
For the moment I am very impressed by the quality of the kit, of the materials .. of the workmanship .. of how it was "designed" .. but for the stern lining .. a little less.
I would have been more comfortable with straight strips to be shaped as needed. Everything would have been even more accurate from the point of view of the reproduction of the real ship.
Anyway… I'm having fun.. and this is the most important thing.. mainly in this period
I also had to make very substantial modifications to the stern planks.Hi Sisco, I’m doing well but have not had the time to do any work on le coureur. Admirals orders you see, she’s having me building the kitchen and I fear her wrath if I don’t obey. Feisty little thing she is.
hoping to do some work on le coureur tomorrow. I still can’t make sense of CAF’s thinking behind the stern inner hull planking. As @PoulD also stated, the individual pieces are so intricate and uniquely shaped that there must be an idea behind. However if you and Uwek had to butcher all the pieces to make them fit then there must be something wrong with the @CAFmodel design.
