CVN-80 Big E Progress
Sadly, my 1/32 Corsair dropped to the floor and smashed to pieces. About about 100 hours of work was lost. After about an hour of mourning, I purchased a replacement kit and in the meantime kept working on the 1/350 Enterprise (CVN-80).
The scratch built hangar is finished. Now comes the business of filling it up with planes, equipment, cargo, and crew. This process is likely to take a long time. First to be glued in are two MQ-25 autonomous refueler aircraft from 3D Wild. The printed aircraft are solidly made, relatively easy to paint, and the decals excellent. I assume these aircraft will be entirely gray in color once operational. In addition to the aircraft, I also started putting in various cargo, in this case a bunch of cardboard boxes on wooden pallets. I also glued in three pallet jacks - really tiny things.
Next on the list are two F-35Cs, maybe three F-18s, and an MV-22 Osprey, as well as ongoing addition of cargo, vehicles, and, eventually, people.
The objective is to make the cargo deck look busy and cluttered, a beehive of activity.
