I could never wrap my head around planking them before cementing them together either Dragzz........you'll be able to blend the stern in better. very nice.........looking good!

I haven't read an instruction sheet yet, that has these dimensions.........however they are quick to point out that some experience in model ship construction is required. go figure

Hi Mate,
OK, looking at the box lid there didn't appear to be any rake at all so for my money I would just drill straight down, ensuring the drill is vertical to the bulkheads.
You don't need any particular wood to make the mast seat, any old scrap piece would do.
Your doing good Dragzz, keep it up.
Be Good

Hi Dragzz,
Popeye's right mate, the more you do now the more you will save yourself grief later.
Before you drill the mast seats (if you haven't already ) check the mast rake, you may have none at all but it's as well to check now.
Only use enough glue to do the job at hand, trying to clear glue up later is a complete pain in the proverbial.
Be Good

exactly........gluing pieces in there now will save you a lot of grief later on. you won't need to go that deep, but in the end, you'll have enough for a decent mast root.

looks like your missing the blocks, anchor{s}, and assorted hardware. well, at least you'll be able to assemble the hull and decking while you wait. these split hulls are OK......but I see no slotting for the masts. the holes are in the decking, so you can drill them yourself. be sure to give them the proper rake. my AmericA was the same design, but there were slots.......all I did was cement a piece of wood on both sides and drill down through, so the masts wouldn't go side to side when you put them in. you'll also need to add a mast root....the dimentions they show are from the deck up. you'll have fun with this build.......it's a nice kit
