Looks like a gun turret in that last pic!

yes it does, the only other bit that protrudes and only when needed are the booms for lowering the ships boats, they sit in the openings and when required two booms to each boat extend till the boat is clear of the hull side, then lower away handsomely.. Very stealth in its time.

The Mk3 version of the light landing system, MK 1 was the version posted earlier using just coloured lenses, Mk 2 used led but found them to bulky so now using 12v grain of wheat bulbs, very happy with result.
The scenario for all lights on is, flying stations have just been piped, carrier turning into wind and the light landing system, turned on, it is now self checking the system, hence all the lights are on.

Lovley bit of work Bob in my opinion just got to hope it don't get knocked off by a passin model as I had the same type of freshnel landin lights on my Nimitz an it got hit on our pond so I fitted it back on the carrier with pidgin rubber qauter " square an then when it got hit it just bent back an forth to its proper postion but your carrier lookin great be nice to seein her sail with aircraft

Not so much slowing down, as not enough time, work, then lessons to prepare, for teaching, also finishing one book and just had commission to produce one on HMS Bristol, to be ready by February, so just a tad busy.
Working on the air wing at moment as can do that indoors, also working on the side lift area in very short bursts.

So its not dormant

Bob

Hi bob its John V Just to say it looks one hell of a bit of kit .. Looks real a very nice job cheers John

KitS · « **Reply #142 on:** November 24, 2019, 09:19:16 pm »

That looks pretty darned impressive.

Which kits did you use for the Air Group please?

Rob47 · « **Reply #143 on:** November 24, 2019, 10:22:59 pm »

Thank for commenting
Wessex are 1/100 die cast
Same for some of the Phantoms
Buccaneer are a mix of Tamiya/Revell 1/100 kits

Bob

frogman3 · « **Reply #144 on:** November 24, 2019, 10:42:06 pm »

Cor she looks great Bob an cheers for putting on some pics the lighting looks good
an the planes all lined up really set the flightdeck off brilliant job

chris

KitS · « **Reply #145 on:** November 25, 2019, 08:33:34 am »

Thanks for that info Bob, I noted that a some of the Phantoms were the longer nosed F-4E variant, but I'd forgotten that Tamiya had done that one in 1/100 scale.

At the price 1/100 scale stuff goes for these days that group must have cost a bit!

Rob47 · « **Reply #146 on:** November 25, 2019, 09:41:08 am »

Dearest cost £9. So well pleased so far. Just need more Buccaneers
Not being an aircraft buff I wanted to quickly populate hangar and flight deck

Bob

Rob47 · « **Reply #147 on:** December 07, 2019, 12:22:40 pm »

Lift now in place, and first lifting chain located., still need to blend sides in but quite happy with it.
