Looking neat and solid Brian - is this going to be a plug or the actual hull ?

As a model nation we are already late to the table with X-Bow's. On the continent they are seen as the 'de rigeur' nowadays, unless of course you belong to the Maersk society  :}

Coming on apace Brian - may I ask what thickness ply you're using, for frames and skins ?

Small update,I had a few lengths of timber under the work bench so  decided to cut it into 3mm planks instead of using all ply.
