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

They seem to be in the right spaces, more less. In fairness there are no other spots where they could be placed really...

Spare one is done, I have a separate plan for it �

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 �

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 �

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