Update,
The NC is ready for paint. The rest of the rails will be installed after paint.
Other than the 00 deck bulkheads that need some touch up, this appears all I need to work on. That can't be right, there's got to be more other than the small fiddly bits such as small boats and rigging etc. :hmm: I do know I'm at the stage that I'm now tossing away empty sprue trees. I forgot, the new 5"/38 twin mounts are built. Not bad, I'll buy some more items from Alliance.

I received the SK-2 radar last night, What a beautiful set Infinity had made. The engineering is exquisite!
It took me around 2 hours to put this thing together.
