Looking good Chris, was the hanger bay floor missing from just your kit or just not included in any?

HI BRI it was not included in the kit which when the model is finished if you looked in the hanger bay doors as there are three of them you would not see anything but the bottom of the ship hull so i have made one an fitted it in but i think TAMYIA could have done better an made one for the kit

Coming along well Chris, a much easier looking wiring job than in the aeroplanes you have done. Regarding the 'door', I personally would leave it closed to add some variation to the configuration.
