                        Thank you very much everyone. There was a few more things I wanted to get done but I was spending more time doing repairs than actual work. After working with those rails and masts think I will build something bigger for a while.
                        I almost got a Hellcat for the navy air wing group build but someone got it before me, I'll stick to a Panther.

                        Nice work Alain-the Sea Hawk looks great.  And I like the ship-something I've never built.  Went on/in the USS North Carolina over the last couple of years while on vacation in NC-impressive ships indeed.  And the USS Indianopolis has such a history.  Nice work on it too.

                        Hi, everyone. I got the canopy of my Sea Hawk cleaned up. I used very fine sand paper to polish it. It still doesn't look to good but its much better than it was.

                        I also got the Indianapolis that Frank gave me for the gift exchange finnish. Thanks again for that I really enjoyed building it. I had never built one of tamiya's waterline series models before.

                        looks like I won't be getting any bench time this weekend as all my time has been taken up by looking after Tango jnr.Approve [^] 

                        We've had a lot of fun today, but now I'm tired and just want to put my feet up.Wink [;)] I'll probably get back in the workshop sometime next week. Until then I'll hang round here and see what the rest of you are doing.Thumbs Up [tup]

                        Exceptional work, Rick! ....and the quality of your pics really give one a sense that they are looking at the actual model and not just a photo of it. Can't wait to see this one finished! Thumbs Up [tup]

                        Thanks Nam & Frank Smile [:)].  I've added the underwing stores & am working on the clear bits.  I'll post pics of the finished model.

                        Regards,  Rick

                        Rick and Kilo.........Cool builds! I know so little about each of those A/C, it is simple for me to look past all else and admire the craftsmanship!

                        Thanks for sharing!
