Dear all after watching on of the dives I decided to change one of the AA1.1" 75 platform.

Here are the pictures

Nice work. I hope that someone more industrious than I is cataloging all of the new info in that dive footage. I've watched a lot of it, but there's over 10 hours worth!

Dear all here is today's update on the carrier...Today l continued withe the island.
One of the bridges...Flag bridge i think.
Enjoy

does the flag bridge level catwalk sit flush with the frontend of the island or extends a little bit past the frontend of the island?

I'll post the pic from the blueprint I hope it will help

Dear all here is today's update on the Carrier

I’m continuing the built of the Island adding details and the PE are really rewarding, but man they are so fiddly.

Plus I made added glass windows on the Primary Fly Control.

I got those same plans as I think I linked them to you.
have a look at these links that shows that catwalk goes past the front end of the island, not flush as you have it.

You mean this ? Check the red arrow..

yes as that walkway should extend further forward but not as far as the 1 above it.

On the plans it looks flush..plus the PE kit is not as long...I will add plasticard structure to simulate the extension...thank you FFG-7 for showing me this detail

the plans are for 1940 & you are doing the carrier in 1942 so there is about 2yrs that changes would be done that is not shown in the plans. look at the ship's navsource photos & other sources to hopefully confirm what you have done or going to do.
you are welcome.

Thanks... and I did it

Thank u again...by the way do you know anything about signal flags?

look at pg 2 of this link https://emed.ie/_docs/Medicocork-Intern ... ignals.pdf to see what 3 flags reads HX 2.

I checked and l would like to put the flags that says

HX-2 which means "I have recieved serious damage under the waterline" and add

IZ "fire has been estiguished"

How do I proceed with the flags? Can you help or advice?

Is this the correct pattern from top to bottom? HX2

Is there an extra flag to separate the 2 messages?

And thisfor IZ top to bottom?
