I have hit my first problem with the hull water line ? the bottom of the hull is red. on the instructions that red line is almost straight but when i transfer it to the model its miles out.... What i did was to count the steel plates on the side so the red line is 2 large 1 narrow plate down from the top at the front its 3 large 1 narrow plate down and at the back its 2 large 1 narrow down. On the instructions thats a straight line give or take a 10th " but on the ship its a banana line ? Any one know if it should be straight ?

I think i have worked it out...if i draw a straight line in photo shop like this it looks spot on

However it only looks like that from exactly that angle because the pic is 2D and the ship is 3D

You cant really see it but here i have drawn a pencil line along the same line and now it looks straight so i will go with this
