Racerat Posted May 4, 2015 #2 Posted May 4, 2015 Hi Shelag. Go to this site. It will tell you everything you need to know about the HMS Fly: www.hmsfly.com Bill Mirabell61 1 Current Build : HMS Halifax - Constructo Kit - Scale 1:35 The Halifax was purchased in 1768 by The Royal Navy at transformed at Portsmouth into a colonial schooner.
mtaylor Posted May 4, 2015 #3 Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) Generally, yes, you should do a rabbet for the garboard plank. Some kits get around this by having you plank the hull before installing the keel. I then gives the impression of a rabbet. Other manufacturers ignore the rabbet completely. Not knowing anything about your specific kit, I can't offer further advice.
