Nice one Mark,

Will be following with much interest, I am planning to build her for the cruiser campaign starting in August.

Kind of you to get a head start so I can pick up some tips.

Cheers Mate,

This answers a question I was going to ask. When you said the hull didn't match up I didn't know if Dragon, are they even called DML anymore, made the hull side to side or top to bottom. Now that I see your putty I see it's top to bottom. Hopefully it won't be too hard to sand properly.

Wow your flying into this one Mark, although looking at the date stamp I think your teasing us a bit.

Any ways I'm following along as I also have this in the stash to start one some day.
