Peter,
In answer to your question YES. All decks are removable except lowest front deck cabins! they supply 12 5mm square magnets to keep it together ,and it also answers the question re fixing the chairs etc( otherwise I would be spending a lot of time putting them in deck by deck)!๐ค ๐ Like

Wow. That is an incredible amount of small details to make. Do the decks detach so that you can see all of this detail Len.

looking at the plans( which are available on line)half and half. looks like panels above the decks shown on the photos(before fitting cabins) and then thin planks below! but will have to angle the edges of the ribs to the shape of the hull before fitting any and they recommend fitting panels but not all the planks until all decks are fitted

Looking good Len.
Is the hull completed with ply skins or do you have to plank it all. Peter. ๐ Like

With the quality of your workmanship shown on your blogs I am not surprised, wish my workmanship was as good as yours, but I am trying!

First principle for RV is to build as light as possible above the water line. This kit uses quite thick ply so very heavy. After hull planked and internally coated with a strengthening resin like polyester I I cut away much of the internal ply structure to reduce weight and give better access to internals

I use two part finishing resin epoxy to protect the inside and fiberglass cloth along with the finishing epoxy. This gives good protection both in and outside of the boat.
Another bonus of this is it strengthens along with protection. Rick ๐ Like

This looks an interesting model Len. I bet we canโt get 16 channels working on this one. Might have to add a crane and some monitors.๐ฌ๐คฃ

Looks like a really nice boat, quite fancy one myself as there are not a lot of liners about, checked CMB
but out of stock, but it does state that it can be r/c controlled, check link below. https://www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk/acatalog/Modell-Tec-Jea... Cheers, Pete๐ ๐ Like

Any advice is appreciated as I have got the recommended extras to make it a RC model as well as a static when not in water, I intend to go slowly to try to make this a quality boat! Bombero๐ ๐ Like

I have built this kit but had to do much modification to arrive at a good sailing rc model with good access to internals. if you want I can send pics of my model and construction details. This is really a static display model so if you want it as a good sailing rc model much modification is necessary.
