Nice one Joe, I've had this kit in the stash twice and got shot of it so will watch and learn.

Thank you Duke, Tommy, Paul, Ian, Boots and, Pete.
My production rate has been appalling the last year. I made one of these models when the kit was first released in 2007. This one is the special edition released a year later. It has a few extra bits and pieces,including a clear hanger so the aircraft can be seen when the model is finished. I won't weather it, as I don't think I'll chance my arm on such a small scale. I'd end up making a pigs ear out of it. Also, I just mount it on the base and not a sea scape. I've seen a couple of excellent sea scapes from, Wouts & Guy. I've never attempted one, and I want to get this one finished before the end date!

Very nice different model, a cross-over between submarine and aircraftcarrier...
