HMS HOOD first build

[anttja]

not started yet and have my first problem ,I purchased a plan from an online store and it seems the rib sections are a different scale
to the hull profile, which means the hull plan across the beam is also wrong. looks like some redrawing will be necessary .

Is this a scratch build ? Hope you can open a build log soon.
