Still slogging it out here on CV-14 and it's slowy coming together. My next build will be a 1/32 jet in which the PE parts are bigger to see!
Been doing a lot of filling and sanding using Tamiya putty on much of the hanger walls that connects to the hull and other problem gaps. still got finishing sanding to do.
Odd that the kit didn't come with the anchor chains, even molded to the deck ones. And the Eduard PE chain piece just wouldn't cut it, looked like twisted paper.
I took some excess chain that I used for the Arizona kit and it looks fine on that kit but appears to large here so I'm going to replace this with something a tad smaller. 
There's going to be a lot more PE going in here and I may add some extra detailing along the bulkheads. 
So not to get too burned out with the PE on any one section of the kit, I been bounching around various areas doing a little bit here, a little bit there.
The Eduard set has a couple of templates to cut out a small portion of the Fwd and Aft flightdeck if you wanted to add a little extra in the detailing otherwise they have a PE piece which can be used instead. Wasn't too keen about chopping up the deck but I found a couple of top view aerial pics of the carrier and it matches the angles.
So I went for it, I first laid down the template. 
I traced the area to be cut with a black marker. 
Then using an xacto I slowly scribed and cut out the area and sanded it smooth. 
Just test fitting the major parts here and admiring it. I wasn't planning on opening up the hanger rolling doors figuring that would be time consuming and a real pain but it wasn't and it does give some greater depth to her than just one solid piece of grey hull. 
Should have a few more progress pics in a couple of days.
