I looked through photos I have, but couldn't spot the elevator down. Try asking here, as someone will probably know.

FINALLY, the air group is done. Seagulls will get wheeled dollies and P2Y's need ladders for the upper wing, but I'll make those while painting crew, after hollidays � :cool_1:

Has anyone any idea what colour should be those nets around the flight deck? What were they made of?

Time for crew. Ready to go onboard. I managed not to loose any while cutting and painting and that's no small achievement �

THAT is an impressive feat! Great job on the crew, they will bring a lot of life to the ship.

I didn't get a chance to check my Classic Warship Lex & Sara books, but I want to say you'll find the answer there, or in one of David Doyle's books on the pair.
