Hi;
Just a little noet to you other Carrier builders out there . This kit isn't for begnners ! Although done in 1/400 . She is a beast ! My side panels for the island were warped in two directions . Now these pieces have only one joining surface .The rest is other individual parts .
I got my island together , but it took four hours of finagling , coaxing and clamping and a heckuva lot of taping ! The parts fit , on a grade of 1 to 10 was at least a 7 not bad . not good either . The detail is at risk in two areas , both by bridge windows .
I test fitted the deck and found some warpage in the Hull/Deck join areas too . She's gonna test my patience I can see . I will still finish because , Like the original " E " she's different . I will keep you posted . Again I apologize for no pics .
I have to say this too . The instruction sheet was apparently not checked for confusion . There's a lot there and it sneaks up on you , so be careful ! T.B.
