Yep, I have seen 326 about 10 times at different airshows she always used to display that flag, still quite a sight even allowing for more exotic types, I used to have pics from my old film slr days but alas all my old film folders were destroyed years back along with all my spotting logs and folders.

Very tidy work. OC.

Keep up the good work - I dont think there is a kit out there that does not need some form of surgery. OC.

Indeed lou, dont know what the quality would be like or if there are any others out there? OC.

Work for tomorrow - smooth those two lift ropes (as they are a bit fuzzy) using some watered down pva, then I will start work on the main mast - same as I did on the foremast, this is to allow me to make and fit the mainstay (as this will be more awkward with the foremast shrouds completed). OC.

Thanks carl, I was chatting with the wife about displaying some figures on her - yep they do jack sparrow and crew figures in 1/72 scale https://www.super-hobby.co.uk/products/Zombie-Pirates-48-figs.html OC.

I spent a couple of hours on the pearl this eve - It struck me that the shrouds will obscure and work that needs doing inboard, this included the spar lifting tackle, so after researching how this is done on the pearl - I firstly seperated two lengths of thread found out where they are tied off/lashed on the deck - this is along the front bulkhead railing containg some belaying pins, so I did a couple of twists around the pins and added a dab of ca to secure. I then ran the rope upwards and through the one side of the block - then I rapped the loose end round and secured with some tape till I later when I fit the yard - I repeated for the other side. Just a few pics showing what I mean -

Just a piece of fuse wire - I am trying to make up something more substancial though - fuse wire bends a bit too much. OC.

Coming together nicely, I love the contrast in colors reminds me of the RN ones used daily when we used to live near a port. OC.

Thank you so kindly - its a learning curve to me, quite litterly learning as I go along - never done anything like this before. OC.

Thank you sincerely mark, its one of those "hold your breath moments" I thought I had messed it up when I had a slightly different hight difference to the other side, so I just pulled the rope away from the deadeye slightly re-aligned and re glued. When I do the rest of the foremast shrouds, I will fit all the shrouds around the masthead, but then do the last deadeys on the channel (furthest starboard Not the sole one for the higher masthead) that way I can tension the mast ready to tension the forestay on the bowsprit, and get a tensioned triangle -so to speak. OC.

You could do something really wild - you could do a fictional ship - The Flying Dutchman from the VASA kit. OC.
