GREAT work - brass is excellent

To be honest, there is too much and it's too small!

The results look good Dave.

Great work 👏 and a thumbs 👍 up from me.

This is very slow progress and extremely frustrating.
The parts are tiny and my hands don't seem to work.
I am finding it difficult to hold the model and add the parts without knocking other bits off.
All in all probably a step too far for me!!!!!!!!!!!

I will persevere and attempt to finish it, although some parts may get left off.

Those parts are definitely minute.

Oh Blimey! You need to be a candidate to be in Honey I shrunk the kids, then things would be much easier to handle.
Super small etch there.

More etched brass and nautical language as well.
Very slow going.

What's in the racks? (great work by the way). First off I thought they were depth charges but zooming in looks like netting or life rafts.

Life rafts.

It's not surprising this slow. Great work Dave.

More progress, I am leaving off some of the smaller details, my fingers/hands will not cope with them.

For some reason you only get 2 Harriers and 2 Helicopters in the kit, I will need to add some more.
Here are the bits to make the two Harriers.

It looks like delicate work Dave.

Another carrier wing in the making. The Sea Harriers look very nice.
