Hello BarcomadI am now getting obsessed with 1cm extra length of my AV.
I've been looking for possible implications down the line and note that the top edge of the bulwarks fit as they should as do the deck edge mouldings.
As far as I can tell the only problem is that the midships bulwarks need 10mm added to give the correct gaps for the gangways.
So is it that the only pieces in my kit that are wrong are the bulwark trims 313A and B?
Anyone out there with this kit who can help me understand this by checking the measurements of their kit with the sketch below? In particular the distance between the centre of the foremast and the bow. On my kit it is 18cm but on the drawing supplied it is 17cm. My deck edge mouldings also total 10mm longer than the drawing.

As I say, this is driving me nuts, so I think If none of you can figure it either then I will just add a 10mm piece to part no. 313 and plough on. I have now spent 2 days on checking, researching and still can't fully understand what, if anything, I have done wrong. Are there more than one version of this kit but with the same drawing?
As before, any light you can throw on this would be very much appreciated.
Thanks so much.Hello Barcomad
I am not at home right now and therefore don't have access to my AV
I'll be back this coming Friday and will take some measurements for you.
I don't remember having faced such issue as you describe.
Ola BarcomadThanks so much.
In the meantime I have made parts 313A&B to the size necessary to give the correct gangway spacings. The one supplied with the kit is the lower of the three.:

Thanks for checking so quickly.Ola Barcomad
I am back home and have measured the distance I have between the center of the Foremast and the bow. It is 17cm
Now, seeing the parts 313 A&B that you have redone, I remember that I had an issue here and had to redo them. I am not sure but believe this was more related to a question of height rather than length but don't totally remember.
Hope this helps
Cheers
