Code:

while the Alies had no airborne eyes or deterents and were left blind

The "De Ruyter" had planes all right as you can see in this great model, but I read somewhere that the planes were deleted due to budget cuts at the Dutch Ministery of War (as it was known at the time).

Budget cuts were also the reason for the 7 main cannons and the AA gun 'island'.

I just realized you have two projects going.
The rigging and aircraft on this one look great.
