Hello everyone.

I have been test fitting the deck to my VIIC U-boat. There is a gap on both sides between the deck and the hull. Do you have any recommendations about a good set of clamps I could use that are wide enough to clamp this boat together and seal it up?

Thank you.

Hello Alex,

Look to "Bar Clamps" for this type of work.

There are a few manufacturers out there with this type of clamp
and in many different styles.

Here is a link to the EXCEL Bar Clamps....they are very good
as basic clamps for the hobby.

If these don't suit...just Google "Bar Clamps" and
many more examples will come up.

Cheers,
Joe
