Wow! Having just caught up with your F-35, that is cracking bit of work MC - the cockpit, bays and Engine assembly all look superb - despite the complete lack of call outs!

Thanks Stuart
I've been plugging away at all the small PE parts. I completed the 15 quad 40 Bofors mounts, finished the cranes (no pics yet), one more catapult to do, working on the superstructure mast, Mk37 gun directors x 4, Sk2 Radar dish and Mk8 gun director radars x 2 (done). It's taking me forever Tongue Tied

I ordered some 5"/38 twin gun mounts from Alliance Modelworks because I wasn't happy with the ones I made up. The periscopes just didn't look good to me so I when ahead and bit the bullet.

That’s a lot of Micro work! Do you use any vision optics devices to help?

Nice work! I wouldn't last after doing one set. I'd be cursing too much on the first one. :giggles:

In my world, okay in one of the many worlds I have, I would be able to nail the first one, think that I got this. The on the second and following, the **** hits.
