I didn't think to take any pics until I had planked the top deck.
I built the hull up on a thick ply base board using angle blocks set out on a metal straight edge and then clamped the keel against the blocks using metal straps screwed into the base, this kept it all nice and straight.
I started by using normal wood glue then switched to CA glue which really worked well, the planking was very easy, quite enjoyed it!
Only did some minor sanding on the ends so most of the planks are parallel, I started in the middle and worked evenly to the sides, one thing I did was to dry assemble the planks so I would end up with an even number each side, the side planking went OK, I was able to twist the planks on the underside....hadn't discovered steaming then!
To echo everyone elses comments....Billing parts fit is really appaling!!! Dont mind about lack of instructions...who reads them anyway! But it would be nice if the bits fit together, although I must say that it has not spoiled my enjoyment of the build and it makes it all the more satisfying.
The next pic shows the underside AFTER the parts had been trimmed, I found a razer saw worked really well for this,
