Hi. Tom!
I've changed helo deck by your comments.
Thank you very much!
Song.

Looks super Song! This is an area not well covered by many of the drawings. The whole area of non skid was covered by a regular pattern of tiedown wells.

Coming along well! Cheers: Tom

Thank you,Tom!
Your advices is very helfful for me. I start planking on frame.
Song.

Looks as if you can build a whole hull more quickly than some of the guys correcting the Trumpeter kit can do the hull mods! I presume you will add the small centerline keg under turret three after planking? Not shown well on some plans.

Cheers Tom

Always thank you,Tom!
I don't forget your comments. I started planking on the frame.

Looks similar to the building of my Missouri hull n 1965 for Balsa! About 1988 I modified it to reflect the proper stern Skeg configuration and bulbous bow area. I ended up covering the whole hull with the super light fiberglass cloth as used by model airplane builders. The idea was to make it a RC model, but the ex-wife made off with all the RC stuff.

Looking good! Tom

Always thank you.Tom!
I've done planking.
Song.

The master has made some progress again! She's shaping up very nicely.

Very beautiful. Don't forget the skeg under turret three. I love to see all your various methods of hull construction!

My best! tom

Thank you,Aop and Tom!
I used putty on the surface of hull and sandpapered.
Don't worry Tom,I do not forget you comment.
best regard Song.

Hi all!

Regards Song.

The aft end of the helicopter deck does not fair down to the fantail. but is an abrupt edge, perhaps 30 cm or so. I don't have them on this computer but will see if I can find a coupe of photos of this area for you.

Cheers: Tom

Hi Tom!
I don't understand what you mean. pls show me some photos.
It's panels and drain holes of freeboard.
Best Regards Song.

This is superb!! Really mind-blowing wood crafting skill!
I really want your perfect bow scaled down to fit my 1/350 Tamiya one!
You made an excellent build of which I will be watching with great interest.

Best regards,

She is looking very good!

This is Missouri, BB63, similar if not identical!

Cheers: Tom

Thank you.Tom and Aop!
The white surfacer was painted by airbrush on the hull.
Regards; Song.

Fabulous looking hull, in record time!

Cheers. Tom
