Lovely fitting it is a big improvement over the original cast one. Clearly Occre didn't put much effort into the kit, grabbing a prop and rudder out of their parts bin and throwing it into the kit, saying that will do.
I don't know if it is available in the UK though down here in AU I find Titebond 3 to be a fantastic adhesive quite waterproof as well, doing experiments it bonds other materials to wood successfully.
Do you have a small saw bench? If you do you can put a slitting blade in instead of the normal saw blade and use that to slit your tube, keeping fingers well away of course.
Cheers, Stephen.

π¬ Re: Scratch built, Working Steam powered Drifter trawler LT100, to 1:24th scale.
There are a number of good model engineering suppliers still in Aus, from memory I didn't think to look at what they had. You can buy "D" section but it was far too big.
Cheers, Stephen.
