Hat's off to you! 1/700 is way too small for my fumble fingers!
Good luck with the decals on the airwing!

Wow, Mark, she's looking great! I just love that goofy little island structure. Now for those airplanes!

I can't believe I haven't posted anything since October. Man did I really not look forward to putting those decals on those planes.
Those decals were not the easiest to work with. The film was much larger than the surface they were going on, forcing me to trim each one with an Exacto knife. Getting the decals on the fuselage was a bear. It took a lot of Solvaset to get them lay down, but I got it done. Well as much as I am going too.
Anyway, as soon as I finish with the decals I started putting the planes on the flight decks.
Adding the planes was the final thing to do on this build. Calling this one done.
A few photos of the finish model.
