Hull and Deck Painting and Assembly Pt.1

When I was satisfied with the fit of the hull halves and deck, I washed them with luke warm water and dish washing detergent to remove sanding residue, hand oils and residual mold release compound. I painted the inside of the bulwarks with Testors Flat Insignia White. Since the plastic is brown, two coats were needed for good coverage. The waterway along the deck edge was painted Testors Model Master Flat Dark Tan to match the deck color. After the paint dried, the hull halves were clamped together and cemented with liquid cement applied with an eye dropper. Lots of assorted clamps were used to get a good tight fit along the seam.
