[quote="FFG-7"]I see you added the battle lookout to the front of the pilot house that you did not have in the previous pictures. when did you release it was missing?[/quote]

You have an eagle eye....well l saw it on an original picture and l wanted to put it in.
Luckly l built it because when I was measuring its position l noticed the mistake in the pilot house.
I made the correction and i dry fitted the battle lookout...

[quote="FFG-7"]you are not the only person to reverse the 2 directors as I had to show another modeller on another site who was following his 1/700 scale model instructions that the orientation was wrong. he corrected his & told his friend who had done the same thing.[/quote]

Dear all l made 2  massive mistakes...daaaamn

1. l mounted  the pilot's house upside down...such a dumass  :doh_1: :doh_1:

2. I glued the mk33 180° the wrong way.... :doh_1:

Sooo l had to remove very delicately everything... but l broke a couple of things and l had to repair them.

The pilot's house is in place, l have to re-glue the stairs and add details. :mad_2:

The 2 mk33 will be placed very soon

Dear all here is today's update...

More details on the Island

I added more details to the upper level of the pilot's house again thanks to the dives...

plus I made a platform  that was not on the kit to place the lower part of the tube that will hold the for bow's MK33 open topped Fire director.( I think at Coral Sea it wa still the mk33 than mk 37)

Finally I placed the catwalk on bow's chimney. 

Enjoy

Dear all here is today's update on the Carrier.
Thanks to the recent deep dives I added some extra details on and next to pilot's house.
Since kit is really lacking, obviously, of those details, I will try to replicate as realistic as possible all these "add-ons" :big_grin:
So enjoy

you are welcome.
