Well 2 and a half months in, I did a sort of dry fit of what is done on my Kongo. Jst sprayed the hull and center section. I had hand painted the bridge due to all the linoleum decks and clear windows. So after assembly I was amazed. Still so much left to do...masts cranes, ladders red hull, but then I can glue everything down and lay railings. Don't think I'll make it by April 4, but if I get another weekend or two opprtunity like the past 2 it will be close.
