It's not a problem to seperate them a little.

I'll see what I can do with it. May be a few days before I get to it though.

Finally completed the torpedoes and bombs.
AS suggested by Stick, here some pics next to a penny.
Now that weapons are all done I can start on the last 23 planes.
117 days left

Thank you guys,
I started on the next set by assembling the fuselages, sanding the seams and grinding off the canopies. Tonight I'll start the grinding out process. I'm getting the process down. After removing the plastic canopy I grind out a trench from the bottom of the fuse. I'll then attach the wing and work from the top. This method prevents the fuse from breaking but I still have to careful not to grind through the side.
I'll take some pics of the process tonight.
BTW. The Akagi would have been 96 yesterday.
