Just got this build underway. I picked up an excellent reference book, the Pontos Detail Up kit, and some tools to help with all the PE.
The Pontos kit has 18 sheets of PE, but great brass barrels and a "wood" deck.![17394678445047031700358662913083.jpg 17394678445047031700358662913083.jpg](https://data.www.scalemodeladdict.com/attachments/117/117071-e968f1e75aabbedc82f656441206b0e7.jpg)
I got the hull together and I'm going to try something I saw on YT, using tape and a few layers of primer to build up the lines between the hull plates.![17394681893503216889141456005832.jpg 17394681893503216889141456005832.jpg](https://data.www.scalemodeladdict.com/attachments/117/117072-000d655d99d5447dbf3dc3f8cdb77697.jpg)
This is my first ship build since the PT 109 when I was kid in the early 1970s.
