It will be interesting to see if the separate bow sections allow for easier fairing given that you have the run from the already planked hull.🤔

Kevin got a reaction from GrandpaPhil in Belle Poule - Occre - 1/90 - review by kevin
i have amended the comments in my conclusion, to state no copper tape or tiles is included in the kit, and if i ever get the chance to discuss with Occre i will bring some of these "why's " up

Kevin reacted to brunnels in HMS Sphinx 1775 by brunnels - Vanguard Models - 1:64 scale
1st layer planking still ongoing, I'm averaging about 2-3 boards per side each night. I will say this ship has been pretty easy to plank so far, this is only my second kit, but its much easier going than my Beagle kit was. I have not soaked any wood yet, and have been using the plank bending tool that Vanguard sells on their website. I have a few spots that need some light sanding from the bulkhead needing a little more fairing, and a few minor gaps that will need some filler, but every thing is laying flat against the bulkheads which I am happy with.
