Hull sides

Stage 2 of the fishing boat kit involves cutting out some hull strengtheners (Stage 1 is cutting out the hull halves) and fixing these in the bottom of the hull.

These bits confused me as it wasn’t immediately obvious where they went. Luckily the picture in the review helped and it became clear that I was making a sort of jigsaw.

The instructions only seem to mention one set as well but I think that 2 sets are required. These are glued in using a proper big tube of plastic glue like I used to put plastic Spitfires together with. However, where this cause blobby joints and fogged canopies in the plane, here I need loads of glue that stays liquid until I can bring the parts together.
