I planked the decks of my Missouri 1:128 with advice from Ken Parker.
The plank length was 60mm, and the width 1.6mm. Hundreds if not thousands, it seemed to take forever,
all stuck down with Zap-a-Gap cyno. My fingers were always stuck together, I got through two bottles of de-bonder.
I now go Bryan's route, double sided tape and black insulation. Surprisingly quick once you get into the swing of it. Just finished the fore deck of my Bulldog at 1:48, plank length of 115mm x 2.9 wide (with caulking) now ready to trim out for bollards etc.
