BigGrin Hi All
Not much going on right now as im waiting for the last instalment, it contains part of the stern hangar area and I cant really go on until this is fitted in place before I finish her off. Most of this months parts are landing lights and decals but in fragile places so easily broken off or lost. More soon
regards

BigGrin Hi All
Slow progress right now but I have done something , I made up and finished the launches, boats and sampans and have assemble my squadron and undercoated them all. Some may notice that a flag staff is missing from one of the launches this went missing even though the pack was sealed up, but it dousnt look too bad as it is.
regards

BigGrin Hi Gareth
Thanks for looking in, I thought that doing all the aircraft together makes things easyer but we all have our own ways to do things

BigGrin Hi There
I wouldnt recomend this as a beginers build its more a intermedary and above build, some of the build sequence is out of sequence , the 3 lifts for instance but saying that it is rewarding build as you see her come together. We have also been lucky to have had a builder from Japan called Yaturo Honma who has provided a great deal of information on some of the pitfalls and solutions to them
