The Radar looks great:smiling3:.
GOOD MORNING Ralph glad you are enjoing the build more pics to come but when you think about this build all these bits are really separate models like a spitfire or a me 109 until they are all brought togeather on the ship then they intergrate as a whole if you get my meaning

I know what you mean.
Radar platform fitted out with red 2mm anticollishion lights an its fitted with small box section to fit into the main motor box section in the deck so the whole radar mast can be removed in case of need of repair
this pic is further on in build
Chris has got computer problems, he won't be able to update this thread until he get's it back from the shop.
