A few more updates.

And here is where we're at tonight.

All the holes in the flight deck have been cut.

Forward opening (lines up with the catapult) to allow access to the anchor hoist

Middle opening - covers the main hangar bay.

Rear opening - covers the rear hangar bay.

Aft opening - covers the workshops, and allows access to the rudder servo and bits.

Annoyingly, the paint I applied bubbled...so...I stripped it, and repainted. Alas.

[NavyShooter]

I realize I haven't updated this build in a while....quite a while....

Here's some recent photos. I've got the flight deck complete, decals and paint applied, and matte finish laid on.

Amazing construction

There has been some work that's progressed on Bonnie since the last update here...however, I've had a crazy busy year, so she's sat most of the summer with no progress.

Here's some photos.

I have also completed the decaling on the flight deck.

[NavyShooter]

I painted on the deck edge markings for the power hookups, the fire boxes, and the fuel points, as well as adding some deck edge netting.

Here's the flight deck with a couple layers of matte spray to seal it all in.

Very nice 'Runway'. Any progress on the island?
