Re: USS John F Kennedy
That is quite a bit of masking! Looks good.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Re: USS John F Kennedy
Just in case people ask, the flight deck is masked because the sides (there's ladders there) and some areas underneath need to be painted grey.

Got the grey primer painted today. I'm going to assemble a lot of it then paint the light grey soon.

Gluing the flight deck to the hull. Using lots of clamps!

Re: USS John F Kennedy
So whoever designed the way this kit goes together needs help. The areas under the elevator openings (the part that the exacto knife is on) have to be crammed into openings behind the other parts. Took me forever to get the first one in straight.

Classic case of overengineering in the molds...
