The Build - Stern assembly - April 16, 2017, 2017

The bow of this vessel has a lot going on. A lot of parts at the bow, but Once I completed the bow, it was time to do the same thing for the stern of the ship.

Here's how that went:

The Build - Hanger Deck main assembly - April 20, 2017, 2017

he hanger deck is a fairly large build, involving putting together the detaild inner walls for the hanger and the outer walls for the outside of the ship below the flight deck.

I put together the various wall assemblies on each the, the port and starboard, and then added them to the hanger deck level. I then added some of the detail on both the outside of the vessel, and inside in the hanger deck itself. I painted the hanger deck itself a nuetral gray, and painted the vetical surfaces inside the hanger deck a light gray.

The vertical surfaces on the hull are all in the Modle Master dark grey I am using.

A lot of assembly required:

I ultimately placed 12 aircraft in the hanger deck. Four Wildcat fighters, four Devestator Torpedo bombers, and four Duantless dive bombers.

This will allow me to place eighteen aicraft on the flight deck.

The Build - Sub-structure for the flight deck, and then adding the flight deck - April 25, 2017

At this point I needed to add the structural support for the flight deck, a good deal of which is visible from within the hanger deck.

I moxed my dark grey, blue, and gubnshio greys to come up with just the right blueish grey deck that the Enterprise utilized.

This allows for some fairly good detail for how these pre-world war II aircraft carriers had been built:
