Hi Joe! Sorry to ask so many questions, but there are no other build logs for this Pavel Nikitin Santa Maria on the Model Ship World forum. I think you may have received your kit directly from the Pavel Nikitin store (or from Olha), whereas I got mine through Model Expo, but was wondering if you had issues connecting the #52R&L support pieces that go between Bulkheads #1 & #2? On mine, the tab on the #52 piece is quite a bit below the slot that it would fit into on the #2-1 pieces (R & L). These are shown on pages 10&11 of my instruction book (although I think my pages are out of order, as well, as things jump around a bit. Since you are so far along, and you probably DIDN'T have the issue since you didn't mention it in your video, you may not have any input, but was curious. I have sent an email to both the Pavel Nikitin group and to Model Expo, so we'll see what responses I get, but was curious for your input. If I knew how to send picture attachments on this RUclips, I'd show you, but... don't want to bother too much either. Hopefully, I'll get this resolved quickly and continue forward. Appreciate the work you've put into the videos. As I said, with little other reference on this build, It's nice to have a reference. Thanks...
I will give you my email address so I can give you a few closeups of that part of the build. I do not remember having any issues with that, if I remember it was a good fit. My email is: bellu314@gmail.com Let's see if we can't sort it out. You are correct, Pavel sent it to Olha for the raffle and I was the lucky bugger that won it!!!
coming alomg nicely Joe, that frame looks nice and strong.
They certainly are. This kit so far is a great build and has altogether 3,124 parts. A lot of fun on the horizon.
Hi Joe, is this an OcCre kit?
No sir, this is a Pavel Nikitin which can be found at: www.youtube.com/@PavelNikitinShips
