Hi,
Can you help me out here please. just bought the above kit. When assembling the keel together, seems like the dowels they provided in the kit does not fit. What is the dowel size I need or alternative I can use.much appreciated

I do not have this kit, but thee are multiple build logs of this kit here and and on the model ship world site as well as many you tube videos that may be of help.

All I did was cut the dowel out 3/4 inch and sanded down one side and used a jewelers hammer to tap it into the hole and it was a nice tight fit and then I made sure both sides were trimmed and sanded down on each side to build the keel.
