Wow! Very nice job! I know how difficult that can be in 1/700 scale...

Got the carrier tractors and the fire trucks (the ones with the red stripes) painted. Now on to the aircraft.

Re: USS John F Kennedy
Time to paint the (Half) Airwing. 30 aircraft that I'm going to hand paint. Makes it easier than trying to mask off all the canopies.

Re: USS John F Kennedy
I'm not much of a ship building kind of guy BUT......the way that the aircraft are being done these days takes a lot of pain out of the whole aircraft building problem.
P.S. Just because I don't build ships doesn't mean that I don't enjoy well built ones like this. I've said it before and I'll say it again, "I could look at this stuff for HOURS."

Re: USS John F Kennedy
Well the good thing is that the time frame these will be ALL grey!! It's just going to take forever to paint them all.
