Thanks for looking, guys! Appreciate it!

Given that everyone in my family was working on Thanksgiving, it gave me some uninterrupted model time.

And it is currently setting up on the stand.

Construction is mostly wrapped up now, just a couple small bits I was holding until it was on the stand. And the Harriers and choppers of course need to be added as the last step. Hoping to seal it tomorrow and start decaling on Sunday.

Looking good!

Now it just needs the 1982 air wing on deck.

Thanks much! It's been a fun little side project so far. No updates yet, my weekend plans feel apart utterly and completely. Maybe next one!

It's been a while, but the end line is coming up. Decals are affixed, and the rudders and props installed.

All that is left is filling the deck with aircraft, and hope that my hints for a portable photo booth are fulfilled on Christmas day.
