Good Morning All
Hope all are keeping safe and well
Now that i have more time thought i would get on with my 1/12 speedline tamar wheelhouse , i think the question has been asked before but will try again as once glued could be a problem
1 The fibreglass wheelhouse moulding as supplied with sloping rear walls port and starboard have a flange of about 12mm ,are these reduced to match the 1,5mm perspex infill panels as supplied ( the 1/12 scale drawings show it reduced to about 5mm )
2 Has any one got the measurement required for part number 31 rear storage wall to rear of wheelhouse this is quite critical
Thanks Hope someone can help
Best regards keep safe

Hi Howard,
Sorry I haven't answered before. I am not sure I understand your questions. What do you mean by "flange"? Maybe you cold copy part of the drawings to a pdf-file and point out?
I remember it was not easy to combine all the parts of the rear of the wheelhouse!

Hi Howard
Those of us building Shannons have found the RNLI 3D virtual tours to be invaluable for detail and positioning parts.
There is a 3D tour of a Tamar available too; just move round the virtual boat and see what the real boat looks like and recreate that detail on your model. Study the relationships between panels and fittings to see where parts should come together. You will readily see that the flanges and infill panels form a smooth end, so don't worry about the measurement - go for the appearance.
