an than small eletric plug to connect up to the flight deck to carry power to them flight deck lights an s/s lights an now im up to where now i think up to on the build
AN on the real horrnet they painted a solid white line really off set on the flight deck so the 70 ft B25 WINGSPAN would miss the main S/S an here one of the tiny wings off a B25 MODEL AN WHITE LINE STILL TO BE PAINTED IN 
Very cool idea.

HI Guys well cant do anymore on the bow as ive got to fit on the railings P/E an ive been lookin at how battleship bob does his but he has a gatget called a looper to run his c/a onto the very thin P/E so to stick it into place on his ship but as i havnt got one an i dont understand how bob uses it so sittin an havin a think as ive only got one bit for every P/E ive decided to cheat on how i will fit my P/E on the hornets bow but not goin to say anymore for now till my idea either works or goes pearshaped oh dear an a pic of my P/E that fits on the bow but firstly i will have to use a very smooth sand paper to gently rough the P/E up an then spray it light grey paint an then gently usein my idea to try an glue it to the hull sides
