I have followed Black Viking’s suggestion painting the ribs early.
I took this a step further and am painting the lapped panels shown before installing.

Moving slowly along.
Had a bit of confusion with the instructions re the step downs on the sides from the stern towards the bow.
But I think I got it now.

The planking is going quite well but there will need to do a bit of sanding to fix uneveness.

At the planking stage and by following the pdf instructions it makes things much easier and clear albeit it doesn’t alway work as well as Gandales build.

This is the most challenging part and needs a lot patience and care painting all the decorations.
It was good to purchase the correct paints as shown in the comments on the Vasa official build .

Well I have been quite busy and find the cut outs very precise and of great quality.
following the DeAgostini pdf instructions are very informative and clear to follow.
