My kit is arriving Wed. The info you gave me will be very helpfull. This will be my 4th project. I made all kinds of mistakes, to much CA, not following the importanace of alignment... My building skills were in giant scale aircraft that I flew in scale events had to build strong to hold together a 20 lb. aircraft. The pic is of a 1851 schonner used copper tape made strips 4 or 5 inches made a jig for the rivets. Not to bad for a hack...

I;m not new to modeling but shipbuilding YES build and flew giant scale aircraft. I started with the sail boat Harvey. Made many mistakes got a biginners book and saw how many I made..Have the 2nd model fix a few made a few. needed getting the proper tools is a big plus to doing things correct....My first question is: building an aircraft I used CA and some epoxy had to be strong using CA on decking and planking makes it hard to finish! Making lines and halyards using CA knots get like rocks, should I be using white glue thined out, and using this glue on planking and decking I have many more questions but using the trial an error system, not the best but it's working...Ron G
