A king plank on the main gun deck of HMS Pegasus?


Recommended Posts

Hello people!

 

I have a question regarding the Pegasus deck plan. I've already mentioned it in my build log, but thought I had more chance on clarification here.

The question was regarding a king plank for the HMS Pegasus on the main gun deck. There is a king plank on the beautiful renderings of the 3D Swan class Model that I showed in my

log. And also if I look at the wonderful Vulture that Dan Vadas build, there is a king plank too.

 

But like Blue Ensign stated in my build log: " the king plank was only used on the lower deck, raised 1" above the others to take the deck beam pillars, with the edges chamfered. This of course doesn't feature on the Pegasus kit. The centre line plank of the lower deck is thicker to take the tenons of the deck beam pillars, but there's no such purpose for the upper deck."

 

So do someone has a definitive answer? Or does that not exist in the wonderful ship modeling hobby :P
