    For myself those two future parts will be away off!
    But, one thing I need to do first is too
    inventory the kit.

    I just got my kit the other day. Took about 8 days to get it from China. Amazing service!
    This should be a great build.

    I strongly recommend that you go to the NRG website. At the NRG store you can order the Kit set so you can start the project. It is well worth the money.
    Check it out! It is well worth your time.

    The planks that go around the mast partners and coamings are difficult to make and took some careful planning. In a failed attempt, I tried to make all the cutouts at one time. Rather than waste more wood, I decided to make card stock templates that closely matched the area being worked on. The plan was to work one tab at a time. Once a tab was completed, I would then move onto the next tab.
     

     

     
    This template was tricky because it required spanning two tabs in order to establish the proper shape. Notice how the tab tapers in width.

     
    When it came time to glue, I adhered a short section of the plank to the false deck. This would make it easier to finish up the remaining unglued areas afterwards. Softer wood strips were used as clamps against the margin plank.

     
    Once the glue was set, I moved onto gluing the remaining areas of the plank.

     
    Pillar files and a sanding stick were used to shape the parts. Sticky back sandpaper was adhered to the stick and sanded flush with its edge.

    I would not go to the 1/350 scale. I think that the 1/144 Revell kit would be a better choice. Much more detail, also there is a great after market etch kit 
    that would give you greater detail. Yes! it will cost you more money, but worth the money well spent!
