    as you skin the top place some bricks on the top once youve lined it up.
    that might help,looks like its slight warped,also you need to sort out the bottom of the rear part of the sponson

    Once youve glued the top skins on,place the bricks across ways,1 @ the back and 1 roughly central of the hull and leave over night to cure,that should hold it from then on and you can carry on with the rest of the build
