Hi, does instruction manual suggest that type of lower hull planking? Santa Ana is a very beautiful galleon. In my opinion, if you tapered planks at the bow and made all planks parallel to water line she would look much nicer. I am sorry for criticism. (i assume this model has one layer of planking)

Yes and no.

I explain, yes the instruction manuel suggested that kind of planking but the Sapelly wood is very hard to cut or bend so i decided

to go with the natural curve of the hull.

 

For your second question, yes only one layer of plank.

Today i will give my first advise for this kit.

Just build all canon before installing them because some of them will 

cause some difficulties,the mounts have no hole on, and it is impossible 

to drill them bad qualities of wood.

The hole are for the wheel.
