Have other members built this 1:98 scale Victory? I started sanding down the two long strips either side of the bulkheads when I noticed a discontinuity in the profile.
Bulkheads 14 and 12 have a definite profile at their bottom edge, but bulkhead 13 is completely flat. It's also slightly broader, which is where I noticed the difference whilst sanding.Victory bulkheads.jpg
I've taken a photo of sheet 1 of the plans, that identifies the numbered parts and cut and pasted parts of the relevant bulkhead profiles, where you can see a clear difference.
It seems very strange, if it's intentional.
 
Uwek, from what you said, looking at these drawings, bulkhead 10 is midship, so could they have possibly misnumbered 10 and 13 on the plans. As you can see, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 & 14 all follow a similar profile, with 13 the odd one out.20230620_125935.png
 
Fare well with your ambitious project. Member YT has lots of experience. Check out his model. He's very open and generous.
(I hope he doesn't mind my recommending him, but his work is Stellar!)
