Thank you kind sir. This model is something that can't be hurried even if I had to. Taking my time to try to get it right. PE work is very tedious, but sure worth the effort and outcome. I do have a question though. There are a series of rectangular plates, evenly spaced either side of centerline of flight deck, starting at bow and running clear back to stern. Full size, they are probably 10"x20". Plans do not indicate what they are. Attached pics show wood deck mounted and areas for PE arresting gear plate and these rectangles peeled away, second picture shows PE attached and first coat of paint. You can just see a couple of these plates just to right of expansion joints. Any ideas? Maybe access points for arresting gear below deck? Tks, Dennis
