Hi @all..

I have opend all windows now... open windows is looking much better now I think. I drilled, sanded and opened also the windows of the brigde already. All windows get "glass" later on by clear coat and clear foil from the inside. The bridge will get a "light" interieur as well - I am looking for pictures of the interieur now.... does someboday have pictures of this?










Also the catapult I built of etched parts and plastic parts new. Only missing the catwalcs on the sides which I have to built up later I think....

The site has a weird policy where they don't like people in the Asia/Pacific region to be able to see the photos they host.

Michael,
I hope when you are done you allow us to do a feature on your build.

The same goes for any of the other builders of this beast.

Michael,
Are these assemblies just dry fitted at this point? Surprised you haven't painted them. PE looks awesome. You must have the patience of Job!

Looks like a lot of putty work. Is that typical of the entire model? Trumpeter should include a couple of tubes of putty with every kit!

Hello,

And the finished bridge, ready for painting. Still missing details, steps, guns, .... follow after the painting and after the wooden deck. All floors are not glued together.

































... and the first of the two small hangars...
