This is a short follow-up on the previous post. I am talking about the most forward portholes in the wheelhouse, one on either side, near the deck.
Now I have decided to abandon customising and fitting the 'windows' with rubber seals, the aperture is much too large for the rectangular port I have purchased as an alternative.

To combat the difference in size and shape I have made and fitted external and internal blanks.

| External Blank |

| Internal Blank |
As you can see they were 'glued' with epoxy resin including fillets around the edge.
When the epoxy had fully set the port was offered-up.

There remains only for the blanks to be tidied up and painted before permanently sealing and fitting the ports.
