Hi Erick, that is a very impressive battle fleet you have on display. Must be quite a production line you run. How the B-25's manage to take off from the "jeep carrier" has me slightly puzzled though
cheers,
Julian

Hi there - that's a lot of naval craft you've built, the lack of photoetch will only make these models stand out more, on several there are mould lines, a flag pole top hasn't been filed down, and rigging - well - very much over-scale.
If I may.
Remove all rigging, as over-scale is honestly doing you no favours, use fly fishing line, quite easily dribble super glue down, wait until it sets and cut to length, where you've mould lines, remove and re-paint, while its a great idea, obviously the large ships are to close together, the wake alone would cause enough problems for the ships at sea let alone coming under fire. The ships with PE, again, less heavy rigging and more fine rigging. The paint jobs are quite good, and yes many are built straight out of the box, even so, you've come this far, try and go that next step.
All the very best.
