Portside elevator

Instruction of Tetra at this part doesn't look clear, So I ask them more picture.

Still don't know exactly how PE part c-30 goes.

Your PE work on the island structure is masterful. That will definately be the focal point of the model.

Definitely saluting batteries.

Odd that they'd have them on the island.

My friend send me the picture of H23

I thought, it's some kind of fire fighting equipment.
Anyway, now I know how does it look like.

Fantastic work. I'm always impressed by you guys that can build an assembly this detailed and then paint it after construction.

Some part can be seperated. I just put them on for taking picture.
Also, I need lots of masking tape :smallsmile:

By the way, please someone let me know what is "H-23"
Don't look like some kind of weapon.

Very nice PE-work!!!

The brass mounts for the wire antenna's look very nice. With which set do they come?

Cheers,

Marijn

Finishing the island.

I didn't attached the number '11' PE part. I'll do that after painting that part.

Pro. almost every part goes togather very well. and overall looks good.

con. 1. Tetra didn't have the spaker part. So I borrowed that from GMM Essex set, also.

2. Tetra provide pre-cut brass rod for HF Antenna. Heard they want to decrease the price of the set.
But, I prefer the scribed brass. So I replaced them using HF Antenna brass made by Wolf-pack.

Looks like lots and lots of fun. The mast looks great too.

Thanks for the kind word.

I've finished the work around stack.
There are couple of printing error in this part of instruction.
I'll post the correct instruction after finishing the job.

When you fold the structure part supporting SPS-29, make sure to fold half etched side inside.
I made a mistake and when I revered it, it went apart. The link of PE is easy to broke.

Other than that, no difficult work.

Work on Wind deflector.

Unfortunately, Tetra didn't provide the part for wind deflector.
So I made them using extra part from GMM Essex set.

Radar.
relatively easy task except sps-37. There are lots of dipole which is too tiny to assemble.
I lost 5~6 of them while I make that radar, but extra dipole is included in the tetra set which gives me a relief.

I know your pain. PE has always been very difficult for me to form and attach. When done right, like your work, it's magical.
