It is very difficult yo hold by hand, so hold by tweezer.

Song:
Ah yes, small items flying off somewhere to never be seen again. This is an episode that I have replicated many times, sometimes expressing my frustration with colorful nautical language. When dealing recently with small items and 3D printing, I make a great surplus in hopes that like spawning fish, some will survive. This is an advantage of scratch building, of whatever type, if you made one piece before, you can replace it.
Enjoying your progress, as always!
Best regards: Tom

Dear Tom!
It's funny story. I can't find flying items during work never.
That items appear in my eyes after that work. It's not necessary.
It' very very irony.

Very convincing! I see you are again using wood for your structural pieces? Though from a distance Carriers look simple, there is a lot of geometrically complex form and small detail. Even the big and flat flight deck requires a lot of small working!

Re: 1/200 USS Nimitz
The large box on the fantail looks ever so much like what we called a "Dipsy Dumpster", made by the Dempsey Company and ubiquitous on shore installations. Not so sure such an item would be useful shipboard.
As always, nice work on the endless small items!
Kindest regards! Tom

The vertical lighted strip (yellow) is to assist aircraft in lining up with the landing centerline on approach. Not as easy as it might seem as the relative motion of the ship is always moving to the right on approach. Nice work, as usual!
