Thumbs up Re: Looking for a Skipjack kit
Hi Morania,

I have a Model Shipways WILLIE L. BENNETT under construction. So far, it's been a piece o'cake. The keel is now complete. I've installed the chine logs and the port side planking (one piece) and waitng for the adhesive to set up for 24 hours before laying up the starboard side. While I'm waiting for stuff to set up, I work on prepping the Britannia metal casing for painting, assembled the dredge winch and building the winch engine cover, cabins, hatch, etc.

This kit requires a great amount of fabrication. The only laser cut wood pieces are the molds, keelson, and stern. But it is definitely a first rate kit . The prints are very good and the manual, although sometimes a bit confusing, is also very good.

Best of luck. Keep us posted on how your WLB is coming along.

Cheers,

Al Bisasky
