Here it is:

Release date is getting closer, seems the final thing to do is to make the manual, but that will take some time.......

Tweets in blue

03-10-2021....."Placing the carrier-based aircraft inside the hangar creates a nice glimpse of the atmosphere......"



03-10-2021......."An attempt to put a magnet in the elevator was successful. You can easily select the ascending / descending state......"


30-09-2021......"The progress of the aircraft carrier "Gerald R. Ford". Finally, the placement of the development drawing parts is complete. There are 56 pages only for the main body excluding the carrier-based aircraft.
It seems that it will take time to produce the explanation page of the assembly method
I am doing my best, but I would appreciate it if you could wait patiently as the work will be prioritized in my main business....."
