Yes, the strakes are fiddly and time consuming. I used square timber on my Huntsman 28, just sanded the corners off, but on my other builds I've used triangular styrene. I reckon the flare is fine, many builds don't have enough.
Be interesting when you start on the superstructure. Have you decided on a motor yet?

Building 6 Faireys at a scale of 1:12 and another in the pipeline!
Hello, yes made the sprayrails my self, there made of 4mm round, sawn in half and than sanded to a triangle, was a lot of work ๐. I sanded the bow in the shape of the front with balsa blocks, and this how it turned out. Thinks it little to much flair compared to the original, but I like it

You're making good progress and the hull looks really good.
You said in another post that you scaled up a 1:16 drawing. I'm guessing you must have modified the area just back from the bow to produce the amount of flare that you have (which looks great and reflects the full -size boat) as I think it was less at the smaller scale.
Did you make your own strakes/spray rails as they are good as well.
I shall be painting the hull on mine soon when I've done the other three.
