Anybody notice that this part seemed about 3mm too wide ? Or is it just me.
No great problem, I just cut a narrow section out of the middle, and glued the two pieces in place with Araldite.

Is this the part that goes at the bow? So many pieces to this build!

Yep so was mine and ditto! Part 67 needs to be level with the 1st planking level, you look at how the iss 42 bow ply overlays lay over resin part 67 it confirms resin 67 has to be level with the 1st planking, the ply overlays are then sanded to lie flush with the 2nd planking I also noticed that they show the 2nd planking lying higher up the bow than it actually should be as it butts up to the iss 42 ply bow overlays, the previous photos show the 2nd planking falling much higher which wont then allow the correct placement of the bow ply overlays Seems Amati have problems in getting resin parts right as so far all resin parts have been poor in some way!

The other problem is that most will have glued part 67 in place at iss 22 so now faced with somehow reducing the sides so it lies flush with the 1st planking!

I must have ben one of the lucky ones, as my part 67 was spot on!! However, as SB says, the ply part in issue 42 does not exactly fit over the resin, as the 2nd planking is set too high. I have overcome this by bevelling the inside of the ply around the anchor socket. (my part 67 WAS flush to the 1st. planking) Issue 42 also raises a query over the top edges of the ply, at the bow fall short of the deck , and at the stern have set mine flush to the bottom of the deck, leaving a small gap between the ply and the second planking, which I shall fill with wood filler. The instructions are extremely vague to say the least.

Any chance of a pic to show your reworking of the ply?

I've had the same problem at the bow. ANy ideas how we are supposed to get a nice acute angle between the deck surface and the sides? My ply side- pieces (now araldited on) only come up to the bottom of the plywood deck. it's a bit of a mess, and sanding it smooth sill tidy it up but not get the nice sarp-pointed edge. Are there more pices to come?

Never fear tdcj. I too had the same at the bow, but if you look carefully at the picture on the front cover of each issue, you will see that the edge IS NOT acute, but squares off, exactly as mine does now!!!! There should be a slight inboard chamfer, and this can be seen (all though with a magnifying glass) on pages 54/55 of the Anatomy book.

Thanks, Swanrail.
WIll this be in the further instructions? The reason I'm worried is that I don't want to do anything yet only to find that the final deck piece(s) do not fit...

No it is not mentioned in the instructons, but it should come naturally, when I sanded the second planked hull, making sure that the sandpaper followed the curve of the bow, I was then left with a 1mm flat on the edge, this increased to 2mm when I added the 1mm margin planks for the deck planking. Note that the piece of ply containing the portholes is supplied flat but should take up the vertical curvature when glued in and sanded. With its top edge under the foredeck, the lower edge of the deck sands into line leaving the 1mm flat as mentioned. (my foredeck overhung the frame which allowed this).
