Right managed to take a few pics tonight to give you an idea...

Under carriage bits :



Flory models dark dirt wash wiped off completely only just showing off the panel lines and no more.. Note damaged roundel  :icon_twisted: Must try photos again after another touch up :



Upper side showing off the gloss finsh but not really showing off the wash... :



Base what i built :) £1 photo frame with fine sandpaper painted up in a Royal Navy style :



Angle makes it look bent but i swear its straight as a die... Funny optical illusions aside im happy enough...

Looking forward to getting her on her wheels but it may have to wait till NEXT weekend...  :/

Love the base Chris and I`m going to have to `knick` that idea off you I`m afraid....  >:D

The Seahawk is going look so goooood when you put it and the base together.

Top work. :)

Dark gray fine grit sandpaper is a BRILLIANT idea for an aircraft carrier deck!

Right im afraid lots of other things got in the way again this weekend but i did get a hour or so... Therefore lots of touch- ups and get the nost wheel in place...



Note the door at the VERY front is still missing... Im gonna wait till its on all three wheels to pop that on so i can get the right "Hanging there" angle...

A few more bench shots as we finsh off all the niggley bits...

As you can see canopy is on waiting for Kristal Klear to dry before masking off the framing..



Paper clip in foreground will become the pitot probe as the kit part is annoyingly cast onto the sprue half way up its length..

Blade ariel fix came from some spare etched brass... Came out well i think...



Right more waiting for things to dry :/

Lovely lil plane and a lovely lil kit :)  Highly recommended as any real issues i had were purely down to my ham-fistedness...

Ham fisted? If you're ham-fisted then I must be buffalo rump-roast fisted by comparison. Excellent work.
