I hardly ever use the frame parts from the kit.
I copy them on a 4/5 mm plywood (according scale) and then cut them with a fine electric saw.
False keel and frames. Then I copy the false cover in 1,2mm plywood and cut it out.
I mark the thickness of the false keel on the deck (4/5mm) and draw it.
With pieces of board I stick them on both sides of the keel mark, between the ribs.
Without gluing anything, I still assemble everything; false keel, wedged between the frame pieces and false deck
I mount everything between brackets nailed to a shipyard between the frames, so that everything is straight and without deviation.
Then I carefully nail the frames to the flat cover starting with the main frame and on one side and the other.
When I see that everything is ok, with a brush and white glue I daub all the joints.
Let dry and repeat several times. Then I put between the frames (without removing from the shipyard), pieces of wood of 10x10mm. sticking them. I let it dry well without hurry and everything is fine most of the time.
