I would love to see a few close ups of that hangar bay! Looking good.

In the pattern: Scale Shipyard's 1/48 Balao Class Sub! leaning out the list...NOT! Ha, added to it again - Viper MkVii, 1/32 THUD & F-15J plus a weekend madness build!

Beautiful work.  Here's hoping you keep the flightdeck as a lift off, so all that detail can be appreciated.

Wow, that's nice and crisp.

Can we get a close-up of the catwalks?  Those look really crisp and clean.

The hanger deck looks great with all the detailing. Try to get some close-up pics before you put the Deck on. You have a few areas (Fantail and Elevator openings) to cover up if you are going to spray-paint. How do you mask the openings?

Work on the portside overhang. Going to be adding small parts to all sides of the hull this weekend. The next task is the flight deck. Photos this weekend. Happy Modeling!
