A job well done! :thumbs_up_1: Are you planning to fill the canopies spaces with kristal clear or just leave them as they are?

Hi there!

Very impressive build, I absolutely LOVE the oil-canning. Can't believe you did this on a carrier, not , I dunno, a Cruiser?

Cheers: Laci

I think he meant Devastators for the folded wing birds. That last folded wing pic is not a Dauntless.

Great work.
