Thanks guys! That's all the weathering that I'm going to do on the carrier. Now it's just LOTS of little details and the aircraft which are kits all their own.

That is excellent. Yeah, each plane is a kit all it's own; sometimes that is what puts me off building carriers. :bag:

Flat coated the carrier today. Need to go back and hit a few spots that I apparently missed.

Jet blast deflectors installed. Unfortunately, there's no way to not put them up.

Thanks! You should! I'm not a ship builder at all and I found this fun. It's really not hard at all. Just be ready for a ton of small parts.
