Looking great. Those crew figures really bring it to life.
THANKS Jim caused me a lot of stress to paint an fit them but in the end was worth it now soon will be the time when ive got to build all 16 x B25 michels an they like the small planes look to be a beggars to build an more figuers to fit on the flight deck so got to go through it all again SIGH
ATB SIR

HI again guys just a couple of pics to show my days labour an hardly any of these lights grantys fitted so they had to be cut down to size 
Well done Chris, must have been a busy and noisy place to work - cheers 
HI GUYS well thinking things through on the ship i dont think i can do much more as if i fit on the guns an while tryin to fit flightdeck i'll proberley brake the guns off so im leaveing them till the flight deck is fitted on the hull as ive added another 4 red 2mm leds to to light up the hangar deck an i think its now ok as 9 leds fitted so far an cant do much eles either on the ship so im puttin her aside to now start to build them B25 MICHELLS an first pic of one on its sprue
AN here is a anttena on the plane but its so tiny as ive lost it 3 times from pingin twezzers an refound it but how the heck can i pick it up without loseing it to glue it onto the fusealarge so after hunting an finding it AAAARRRCCCCHHHH i had a good think on how i could mount an glue it an came up with this idea stickin it to a bit of maskin tape an diping it in to the glue an then postining it over the tiny hole in the fusealarge an pushin it into place an thank goodness it worked as i was getting very stressed an its size can be compared to my finger tip
