jharr01 Posted August 10, 2013 #1 Posted August 10, 2013 While text and drawings show stiffeners added to transom, none of the kit build photos seem to show those pieces in place. Are they for actual strength in the model or for realistic look of interior of transom (which is hidden by the deck)?
Richard Bradfield Posted August 28, 2013 #2 Posted August 28, 2013 You at least need to install the upper stiffener as that also serves as a ledge to glue the deck boards to. The rest are more for correctness of construction than actual need. In progress: Willie L. Bennett Chesapeake Bay Skipjack 1/32 Scale Model Shipways
jharr01 Posted August 28, 2013 Author #3 Posted August 28, 2013 Richard, Thanks for taking time to reply to my question. I had sort of come to that conclusion, but it is nice to have someone substantiate my decision. After a brief delay to solve that mystery, my build is back underway.. Thanks again. John
