Slipway Trent Build question
I'm currently building a Model Slipway Trent Class rescue boat. and could use some input, I'm at the stage where i need to join the upper deck to to the Cabin, along with the Radar arch. the radar arch and upper cabin both have wiring in them for the lighting and Radar that needs to be run down into the hull.
I'm trying to figure out how to do this with out installing the radar arch at this time, do to sanding and painting the cabin after the upper deck is added to the cabin. the upper deck is epoxied to the cabin. So I will be sanding and painting the seam. once done it will be difficult to run the wires for the arch.
I probaly didn't explane the very well, my apologies thank you

Started my new build MV American Beauty. and finished my Tugster Tug Boat Kit
Happy New Year
Started my new build MV American Beauty 12/25/2021. and finished my Tugster Tug Boat Kit included some photos of both
Dumas Model MV American Beauty Kit#1215
Model is disappointing
The parts ar stamp cut and cutts don't go thru the wood very time consumming getting the pieces free.
Written directions are slim to none. 20 pages.
Dimensions are few and far between.
prop nozzels are 3D printed and break easy.
So working from the drawings which are not to scale I'm making some head way.
I will try to add photo's as I go

connectors for upper cabins (Water/ Electrical)
How do you make it so you can lift upper cabins off of tugs fire boats, to allow easy access to batteries and other parts of the boat.
What connectors do you use for upper decks (Water/ Electrical)
Do you install switches on outside of boat, what do you use where do you get them.
How do you secure the upper cabin to main deck?
Thank you in advance
Such a great group of people
