      Wayne, I used the masting and rigging plans in the AOTS book on the Essex, supplemented by Lees rigging book.

  2. Dear Mr. Rafine,
    I just started my Essex build, and plan to configure it to show the lower decks at BH’s 6 , 10 and 15.
    The instruction book speaks of using substitute BH’s with drop for this.
    Am I missing these in my kit,?, are these to be
    “ manufactured”,?
    I would appreciate your expertise.
    Thank you in advance.
    Bill

      Bill:

       

      Just as a suggestion, you should be using Private Messaging for this.

       

      As to your question, my kit was one of the early ones and the only bulkheads were the unmodified ones which required me to cut out the drops. I have been told that later kits had substitute bulkheads, but if you have an earlier kit, like mine, you will have to do the modification on the supplied bulkheads. You should be able to get the measurements for the drops from the plans.
