Aoshima Aircraft Carrier "Minsk"

[zak]

Aircraft carriers with grass decks, whatever next?

[MSea]

Robots with people inside them maybe 

[MSea]

First coat of white on the markings, needs another coat and then some touching up on the green ( that's paint not green felt, Haddock ) 

[MSea]

A start made on the Yak and Hormone air wing - are you happy now Chris - lots of filler needed even if they are only small 

[chriswil42]

Yes I am satisfied. You're steaming along with this.

Is that meant to be a 'dazzle' camo scheme?, lol!!!

[MSea]

More work done on the Yak and Helos

[MSea]

Windows and rotors added - a bit of touching up needed when all solid.

[MSea]

Trial run with the position of the Yak and Helos on the deck.

Very colourful, it must be nearly Christmas.

[MSea]

Thank you - its about as colourful as you HoHoHoHo
Its the green flock on the deck that makes it so - reminds me about the Shell tanker Opalia when she was at the jubilee gathering and the Queen came on board and they put carpet on the deck for her to walk on (I had been trying for 6months before I paid off to get a small bit of carpet for the bar area - depends on who you are I think)  Have just heard from Starling models the radars are on the way and then its trying to add the rails without messing them up.

Excellent progress Martin and colourful.

[cph64]

Kamov it you're doing a grand, if colourful job!!!!

[MSea]

This will keep Haddock happy - etch brass radar set arrived from Stirling models, they are made by  Flyhawk.
Brass and plastic sets shown and the close up of the replacement and original bits for the "Top Sail" radar - listen for the naughty nautical language

Plenty to keep you occupied there, you're gonna need a bigger swear box!!!
