This build is rapidly coming to a close. I have four planes to build yet and I will be calling this one done.

The primary radar installation took a bit of noodling to figure out but assembled ok.

The crane was no problem.

The port side antennae were made from electric wire with a portion of the covering removed at the top.

The main tower assembled OK with only one section that did not assemble intuitively (the piece with the horizontal mast passing through). Also, there were no markings to determine where that mast piece located, so I did my best guess.

I should be able to show some beauty shots in the next day or so. Then I get to figure out what to work on next...
