Hello;
Anyone have ant tips for assembling these masts. I was thinking of useing Tix solder to put them together, But there are no notches were the yards attach. I plan on filing one but was wondering if others who have worked with these have any thoughts.

Hi Bill,

I used them on my Varyag build, I just used Cyno glue and strengthened the joint using the etched topping lifts.

The build is over on the "Ship Types by class" forum.

I know I have been following your build while I do my Varyag. I am at the bridge house stage and started thinking about the masts.

Thanks
Bill
