Great job again Song! Love the aircraft as well, glad you decided to paint them. :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1:

How will you paint the vessel? Like your battleships with superstructure and deck unpainted?

Very impressive work with the Hangar deck openings and the layout and drilling of the thousand plus padeyes for the hangar deck! So far this is turning out to be your "Magnum Opus".

Kindest regards! Tom

So...how many padeye holes did you have to drill until you reached a state of zen, Song? That's the only way I could imagine getting through such a chore...not only drilling the holes, but placing the padeyes themselves!
