Hull (part 3)
-------------

Starting a the portside at the bow, I put glue on all the tabs under the flightdeck. The hull sides is now applied. Prior to putting the starboard hullside onto the supporting structure, the formers 21 and 28 are to be cut like 22 and 29 (see the red line). Do not put glue on the stern platform. The misfit on the waterline has to be corrected later. The bulge supporting parts are glued behind the visible bulge. Now the stern part has to be cut (red line) from the platform to the waterpass. Rotate the rest of the hull part to fit the platform. After glueing the part, trim (green line) it at the platform. A 2mm strip will fill the gap an the stern. Finally I cut two strips from a copy of the hullside parts and fixed the step after the bow on both sides.
