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 UA-cam, 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
