Huckins 78' (PT 95) laser cut deck kit.

 

This is the first cut of the Huckins laser cut deck kit November 2024.

 

I am trying jigsaw joints on the subdeck for the first time, on this particular model, as they work well on the machine gun turrets, on all of my models and the Huckins Deck is straight (in the longitudonal plane anyway). This means it can be pieced and glued together on a flat surface (maybe on some polythene sheet) and then attached to the hull frame. I decided this because of the very long deck hatch and the subdeck covering being in two pieces and I want it to be strong, so a jigsaw join in the middle makes sense and then I thought well why not apply that to the entire subdeck. The top deck has just straight joins as jigsaw joins would ruin the look.
