That is beautiful work! Wow.

That flight deck looks excellent! Everything is blending together just right so far. I just would suggest to add the scuff marks on the aft end from all the landings.

Thank you guys!

Before I proceed to the rest of the details, I wanna get the hanger deck situated.
That means...I gotta do some planes. As they are in the kit, the panel lines are pretty gross. As a test, I did a pair...I puttied the lines on the Hellcat, and just sanded down the TBF a bit.
Thoughts/opinions on the route to go are welcome!

Here they be...

I missed a little bit of filling on the Hellcats tail...oops

I like the puttied panel lines. Maybe, too smooth, but far less gross (as you said) than the other. Both are amazingly done, given the size.
