The Stingray is actually quite straight forward if you build it the way Gary intended our problems are caused by mucking about with what his Cardshipness has created. It would be possible I think to omit the longitudinal former but there might be issues in keeping her straight. I have made the formers quite thick in the hope I will be able to lay the skins on them to make the joints with out using to many tabs. The holes for the torpedo tubes I have slotted to allow some wiggle room to line up the tubes to the skin.I found it easier to build the Ratemaster( spinning thing on the back) and the housing as a separate unit then add it to the main hull.Skin from the middle out as Gary has said.Mainly don't worry its a paper model so you can reprint anything that goes wrong, have fun with it and see what happens.
