Fair American stern construction

[townpiper]

Model Shipways Fair American. I bought the kit on ebay in a bundle. I guess a guy was cleaning out his ship locker .Some parts are missing of course, but I think I can manage. Running into a major snag with the stern construction.I can't seem ro figure out what the side trim pieces are doing there and how to planking. So I put balsa filler blocks P/S, but it still looks goofy,, The plans are a bit unclear....I'm attaching a photo. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. 

I used carpenters glue so I can take it apart if I  need to...

I think your best go-to would be the build by JLong.

 

 

A lot of stern detail shown here:

 

Your model looks like the original builder decided a different approach than what the plans called for.

To get it right you may have to tear some of that out to do it right.

 

 

 

Do your plans include the detail like this, from the log I pointed to above?

There is an album in the MSW gallery with pictures of the original model that the kit is based on.

 

 

Those fillers do not match anything on the original model or the kit as designed. The edges of the transom extend out past the bulkheads.
