Hello Pocketship Builders,
today I made a first dry fit of the panels of the dorade boxes. I did draw a vertical line on BH2 where the carlins are mounted, aligned one panel to this line and I believe I did things according to the manual and the panels of the boxes have correct orientation. But.... the upper edge of the inner panel is by far lower than upper edge of BH2.
One might suspect that BH2 is too high above the foredeck, but the kink at the side of BH2 and the joint between upper/lower side panels fit almost perfectly. Maybe BH2 is about 2mm higher, but not that much.
The figure on page 158 of the manual shows a nice fit at the top but the panel does not really sit on the foredeck. Hm...
What to do? On the one hand I am thinking of just cutting two new panels from scrap pieces of plywood. On the other hand we are building from kit and this is the first time where s.th. does fit badly. So am I am scratching my head.
Did s.o. of you encounter similar problems? Any idea?
Cheers,
Dietrich
