Man that is such a cool model, Kenny.
I think you added alot with all of those tie-downs, so i salute you for taking the time to paint all of them.

Are you going to leave everything parked, or stage some sort of activity on the deck?

thanks sir IL

all the planes are built and are now in assembly line painting everything is going to be parked . i was talking to J.H. (cant put his name on these forums if you want to know just message me) told him i was going to build the big e again one day with all the do-dads but he suggested since this was my first ever ship and it was basically practice to do a different carrier and go crazy on it. so my next one will be the nimitz with all of the goodies but i wont do it for a gb just cause with all the extras it will be like a 10 year build lol

There's a guy over in the forums at Swannys site that is building the Trumpeter Nimitz with some amazing detail.  He's getting close to almost a year on it.  Check it out if you haven't already.

By the way, where are the promised pics!  SoapBox [soapbox]

Looking good so far Kenny. Thumbs Up [tup]  I noticed some of them are sitting on their tails.  How do you rectify that on a 1/350 scale with no hollow nose to put some weight in?

alot of glue razor lol , no most of them have a slot in the belly to fill so you get some weight. the corsairs i realized after putting them together are supposed to be filled prior but once i glue them they should stay i hope.

Hey Kenny,

Your build is looking great.  Man, that is a heck of a lot of work you are putting in.  Kudos to you Bow [bow]

Can't wait to see the finished product!!

I know I still have to post pics of the Sturmovik - hope to do that over the weekend!!
