A great model :thumbs_up_1: . I very much like the aircraft, which add great interest, in particular the way they have been finished.

Cheers, Walter

This came out great, nice work! The pre-war planes add a lot of color and interest to it and the weathering overall looks awesome.

I didn't get a chance to check my Classic Warship Lex & Sara books, but I want to say you'll find the answer there, or in one of David Doyle's books on the pair.

Time for crew. Ready to go onboard. I managed not to loose any while cutting and painting and that's no small achievement

FINALLY, the air group is done. Seagulls will get wheeled dollies and P2Y's need ladders for the upper wing, but I'll make those while painting crew, after hollidays   :cool_1:
