    What a wonderfull News. I was always a fan of mamoli. Especialy their choice of models. A lot of them you won't find at other ship model producers. I like especialy their models of french ships.

    A gun was never made out of brass. Only shipkits have brass guns.

    Hi robboxxx - the instruction booklet does not tell the sizes,but on plan sheet 5 they are shown as 11mm tall by 13mm wide & planked with  .5x3mm strips. If you use 1mm by 3mm strips ,you could make the raw opening a little larger - maybe 12x14mm.

    At last the new decks are in. Now I can start with the re-planking. This is the third time I plank this part. I really start to hate this boring job. Hope to finish it soon so I can start with the fun parts.

    After a lot of thinking on how to solve the wrong gunport locations I finally had the guts to tear out some planks for the 2nd time! This is how it looks now.

     
    I also ripped out the pieces you're supposed to mount the gun barrels on. Whatever I tried I can't get the mounts and the gun ports aligned. I'm still thinking of a method but since I'm a bit stuck, suggestions would be welcome.
