Step 43/140: Continue assembling the starboard-side hull extension. Screws are easier to install now because the opposite hull side has not yet been fitted.

Step 41/140: Starboard hull extension added. Model now measures 95 cm (≈190 m real scale), reaching about 75% of its final length and a major build milestone.
