Step 20/140:A major keel section completes the forward hull, adding rigidity to the previously unstable bow. It includes openings for the display stand and brings the hull’s weight to about 1.5 kg.

Cleaned and cured. Testing the 3D printes SBDs on the deck. Size looks ok.

The CVL22 kit only contains two aircraft. A SBD and a F9F (never operated on it). So lets print some more SBDs for the air wing.

Step 18/140: Next hull part. Limited space makes tightening screws difficult, so attaching each new hull section takes more time than expected.

Step 17/140: Hull sections are now added to the Graf Zeppelin’s bow, marking the start of more routine, less eventful construction stages.
