Thnx mait!
Now i have a small question.
Is it an 100% fully closed hangar? Ore can u lift up the deck to see the inside?
And can u remember how much hangar bays you added? Because i can't find any picture's, so i just keep it at 2 hangar bays.
Section 1 for the fighters, section 2 for helicopters and other aircraft.
Nice to see the picture's, thanks!
*pss i gain a new squadron from planes from revell, just for 5 euro's! So total 90 planes, 20 helicopters, and 15 CIWS! :P*

And now for something with a little more colour, boys...

Alright, I couldn't abandon those of you who beloved this project, who thought to look, who thought to comment. The PLAAF Hind-A is Finished! I loaded her up for true Crowd-cleaning, with Napalm and HE, the kind of subtle the PLAAF can appreciate. Yes, the markings are hand painted, much to my cursing, for those not in the know. Pictures!
