The kit was built over a period of nine weeks I also added an Eduard set mainly because I wanted the extra detail on such a large model which is 550mm long and 100mm wide it's built to 350 scale
The quality of this kit is outstanding better than tamiya dare I say
The model was finished with tamiya primer and acrylics shot through a badger renegade then after decals a thin coat of Vallejo Matt was applied hear and there rust was done with AK rust set
The aircraft were quite tricky as they are moulded from clear styrene I did add some scratch built trolies for the torpedoes and the pitot tube on the avengers
I also ordered some extra crew figures but I have run out of patience waiting for them to arrive must be on shore leave somewhere
so the kit supplied 18 crew will have to do for now
Got to say I do like aircraft and ships so this was a good build for me despite Dragons appalling instructions which marr a superb kit fit wise
