Deagostini (model space) has a Surprise kit but I can't speak of the quality since I don't have the kit myself.

Looks fantastic!

I can only hope mine will look that good.

Welcome to MSW Mark. You're not too far from my place of birth, Ellwood City, PA.

Thanks Rusty

Just a quick update. I finished fairing the hull and I'm currently working on tick strips to mark the lines for planking, I had one oops while fairing which was I took a little too much off at the lower part of the transom. Not paying attention 😒. I'll probably need to use a little filler after the planking is done. I'm currently making some tick strips to mark off the hull. This is my tick strip maker.

Interesting method for building the hull. It looks very sturdy though.

I got the small pieces of planking glued to the frames and finally glued the transom on. The picture shows how I did that. The pieces of wood were used to prop the transom up after it was glued. Once the glue was applied I used a ruler to align it with the rear most frame and to makes sure it was level. On to fairing.

Hi Chris. Welcome to MSW

I've finally completed the front frame section and glued the frames to the keel. I ended up clamping the front section down to keep it from moving around when I lowered the keel over the frames. After that, I clamped the rear section as well. I just wanted to be sure I didn't bump something and knock everything out of alignment before the glue dried. Once the glue sets I'll tape the build board sections together and then add on the transom. I still need to glue the little piece at the top of the front and rear frames before I start to fair the hull.

Looks great Rusty. What type of paint did you use for the red?
