I will most likely use Clear Fix for the glazing although it looks like the kit clear plastic parts might fit. After the model is painted, I will carefully sand the paint off of the deadlight frames to reveal the brass.

I wnet with the kit spar, luckily mine was not bent and it looks good enough, One further question, what are you using for the 'deadlights' - it looks to be a bettwer solution than the openings provided in the kit. ![]() I concur ref the pic size, bigger wpuld be better. ![]() You are at about the same stage as me (minus the internal detail of cpourse) so it will be interesting to see what your rigging arrangement will be, there seem to be many different hypothewtical arrangements. ![]()
