Hello Jorge! Very, very impressive and inspirational build! :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1: No word for the quality...just.. :faint:
One point, though: the screws in this pic seemed to be incorrect direction-wise. LH screws were on the RH side, and vice versa..

I guess as a static model they can be switched, right? Other than that, she looks very good! Love the lighting effect as well as the weathering!

Looking forward to more updates! :woo_hoo:

Dear Trumpeter,please take note of this wonderful build. Could you update your 1/200 series to more modern era. Like a 1958 all gun Forrestal class. Just asking. Killer build Jorge by the way!!!! :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1:

Awesome job. Love the aircraft you're doing as well. You don't see many ship scratchbuilders that actually do their own aircraft!
Great job on the detailing, it takes a long time, but well worth it. :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1:

Thank you very much friends for your kind comments. Only one picture of the propellers. Error fixed and propellers changed. I have also started the hull painting with the preshading the panels. Enjoy and thanks again.

Hi Friends.
I have recently painted the hull, after the preshading. Take a look :smallsmile: Grey color is still grey primer. I am now adding details to the front hull.

Hello Friends.

New year, new pictures. I have been working in the hangar deck.

Main doors on elevator n� 2

Secondly, details on the port Wall in center hangar. I have put the decals, doors, and pipes on the wall, (more details to be added).

Image

Image

And finally, the name of the ship is now in place.

Image

That,s all at the moment.

Thanks for viewing and happy new year.
