My hull has got the same curve. I think it's a byproduct of the planking as it was flat before I started. Annoying, but impossible to correct I think. By the way, what are those things with FE90 on them. I seem to remember seeing something like that in a museum somewhere

Those things with FE90 on them: are they the electrolyte things on the rudders?
