I'm with you Nuke, great job there Nick but yes, stay away from the photos Whoever made that kit apparently never looked at a photo of a real ship. The aft re-fueling stations are the biggest glaring problem I found. I completely scratch built new bulkheads to replace them. The superstructure bulkhead detail is all messed up to. Its like the guy in charge knew that hatches and other fittings were supposed to be there, never looked at any photos, and just sprinkled them around wherever they felt like
Still, your build is looking very nice and clean! The railings look great as well. Question, I can see the masts in the background but can't tell if they are the PE or plastic ones. If they are PE ones can you share your opinion on how they went together please?
Looking forward to the rest of the build

Looking really, good, Nick!
Just don't look at any reference photos............they will ruin the enthusiasm, for you.
I hope that I'm not ruining the build, for you, by mentioning this. The port side platform along the hangar, on the model, really bugs me. It's nothing like the real thing.
Keep up the excellent work! Just keep looking at the starboard side.
Naaah, it's alright! I'm not into the 'oh so perfect' details for this build, just havin' some fun for the seasons!
Maybe I'll try on my next build
Cliffy,
Yeah those are the PE ones. I'm gonna be frank with this, they are truly a DISASTER! It has a very major issue with fit, and they doesn't even come close to the real thing, but still, it is much better than the thick plastic ones, and just like what I said, I'm in for the fun!

Well, finally, the masts have been added. I used a spare 1/350 radar for the radar on the 2nd lattice mast..

Just thought I'd point it out to you in case you want to fix them before you get completely done. She's looking great man!
