Pack 3 - Stage 9. The bow.

[Mark, The Master Modeller]

Stage 9 gives us some cleats and parts for the bow.

Fit the joining panel to the previously assembled bow section.  I used a drop of oil int he screw holes to hero them go in more easily.

Add the bulwark and screw it in place.

The outside of the hull now looks like this.

Put the two spacers in place.  These are a loose fit, but will be held in place by the other side of the hull.

Finally, fit the starboard side of the hull in place.  It's held by 4 screws in the bow.  The screw heads will be covered by plates later in the build.

This completes the stage.
