Did some PE work on the main directors, direction finders, and aft stack then added both masts. Still need more PE on the directors and need to add all the PE detail stuff to the masts. Sorry, no pics yet. I will grab some over the next couple days as I add more details.

More detail work on the masts plus added the boats and davits and mounted her on the base. Need some touching up around the davits still and need to start on the radars.

Got the starboard catapult done, installed, and the starboard rails from the bow back to the catapult in place. Need a little touching up here and there but starting to take shape. I haven't done too many of these little catapults but I learned a couple things from this first one so hopefully, the port cat turns out a little nicer. Still happy with the result anyways though.

Haven't had much time the last few weeks but got a little done this weekend. Got the port catapult finished and then mounted. Also finished adding the rest of the rails. Did a little paint touching up and then assembled both aircraft cranes. Should have the cranes and planes mounted in a couple days.

Got the rigging finished up and got the radars assembled and mounted. Decals are on and then some touch-ups were done after the rigging was done. I started working on the sea base too. Getting close to done!

I got the sea base all finished up and am calling this one done. I should have pictures of her in the completed build section within a couple days. Thanks for following.
