Thanks Gary! I'm with you with the coffee, the stronger the better! ;D
As for another carrier it's looking good so far, but I still have the aircraft to build for Big E so.........I think I may some help to stay focused on my quest to finish more of my shelf queens!
Paint coming soon!

That's some nice PE work going on for sure! Always admire the patience required to work with PE on ship-scale builds since it's so delicate and fragile!

Thanks Chris! In all seriousness, other than having to work carefully on the flightdeck joints, the kit will go together very nicely! Thanks Boss! Almost a shame to put paint on it! Thanks Phil! I think the island is my favorite part so far! Thanks Mark! I can't wait to put them on all the little wingys! |

Yes sir! been diggin in the wife's thread box to find the right color or something close!

Right! I finished sanding the seams on the flightdeck which is no small chore because of all the circles( Can't remember the name) on the deck. I then moved onto finishing some of the railings and putting the sponson's on. More to come! ;D
