Hi James,

gonna start hangar bay today - how wide a compartment between hangar doors and hull is?

Thank you.

Max that area is 8mm wide.

Aft hangar bay STB side almost complete with conflagration station.

James, are you using drawings (or plans) of hangar bay?

No drawings or plans, just numerous photos available online and Still Motions DVD's.

Moving right along...

Fantastic work

Nice hangar work! Lookin great James.

Thanks guys. I appreciate the approval of such established craftsman.

Nice hangar James! But those damn sailors polished the hangar floor a bit to much Are you putting decals in there, is that why?
But seriously: Very nice details in your hangar!!!
keep it up!

Don't they? LOL. Yeah, it's for decal purposes. Not only that, but, it makes painting the tie downs a lot easier. I dab them with a sharpened q-tip stick then wipe off excess. Rinse. Repeat. Although the tie downs won't get painted on this ship, they just don't do it anymore.

Nice job on the hangar James. Especially the conflag staton. You are flying through this thing, I don't know how you get so much done so quickly. I have built this kit so many times, yet I can STILL spend an entire 6 hour session working on one tiny section or sponson.

I am still convinced you will finish this thing before I finish Reagan or Laci finishes his Nimitz.

Thanks Ryan! Those conflag stations are a pain. Although sticking one of Eduard's stick figures in there and lighting it up should be a nice look. We'll see. This hangar build has been less than fun and I'm only halfway done with it. I don't know how many more hangar bays I want to build.

I want to keep the updates going on the hangar. All walls are built except for the easiest ones in the stern bay fore of the JES. Then I need to build hangar doors, finish a conflag station, and, apply some hangar decals I made on 4x6 sheets.

Great work man!!

You carrier guys are making me want to do something like this! I need to figure out how to do a 350 Ranger.

Awesome stuff James! Really makes me wish I had done more with my build.

Thanks guys. I seem to be dragging my feet on this hangar. I did manage to get the aft wall built and STB aft hangar doors.
