Hi guys,
I've been very busy this last few weeks with the new job but now I'm learning my new schedule and able to get back to the bench. I started working on the Swordfish yesterday trying to figure out where I stopped and resumed with installing the wing struts. I continued working with the struts and will update with a pic when they are installed.
The Prince of Wales will wait until after the first of the year, I would like to complete this build first, then I'll have some Christmas gifts I'll want to move to the bench.

Wonderful work on a not-oft modeled subject! There is something about a hard-edged camo scheme that appeals to my eye. May I ask how the irregular curves were masked?

Thanks Bruce, although I don't deserve such praise. If it weren't for forums like this, my builds would still look like they did when I was 5.
Here is a small update. Most of the rigging is installed but still have a few more to install then some touch up paint.
