RGL reacted to Old Collingwood in USS Langley by RGL - FINISHED - Trumpeter - 1/350 - PLASTIC
Like a flight deck of ghost planes, fiddly little things mate - when the paint is on them I bet it will make all the difference.

So I bought a Trumpeter 6 pack of Kingfishers, and added PE from spare parts. I really don’t like the little kits are they are very basic and misaligned but so be it.

The first of the 4 types of aircraft I’ll use on Thai build, as you can imagine I have quite a stash of spares in Pe, so firstly the Curtis Seagull, one as a trial to see how it looks then the first trial using some pe and brass rods

The Trumpeter kit for uses the netting in 2 pieces and some ridiculous flimsy arms to hold them, and Eduard provides something better with really **** poor instructions,
the net needs to be bent to about 80degrees
then it needs a rivet strip among side the top to reflect the real things.

WW2 and modern warships have gantries alongside the flight deck. Langley had a net.

Nice to see 'Waratah' being built, Chris. There are heaps of photos on line as she's part of the Sydney heritage fleet collection.
