Looking really good. All that attention to detail pays off as you add more layers.

The starboard side continues to have issues. Misplaced location marks, questionable fits and such continued through to the aft end. Measure twice, check fit 3 times and cut or alter once has been the motto.

Next would be the exhaust vents. There are four of these and construction is virtually the same for all. There was quite a bit of trimming to get the parts to look right and yet the fit of the front two stacks could have been better since the walkways interfered a bit with a flush fit to the hull sides.

Looking remarkably good Greg despite the problems you've encountered, and overcome I might add. Keep it up, you're doing a fine job!

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...

These planes were the worst fitting part of this build. But they are done. One of my FB friends suggested I needed more and I told him they were below deck being redesigned for better fit.

Anyway, I am now calling this one done. Here are the "Beauty Shots"
