you'll have to fix the markings yourself, but the plane itself is finished. I will look at the others too, but don't expect them as fast as this one ;)
btw, you meant the westland wessex, right?

Top job mate, thank you.Whenever you can fit them in Ace, I know they will be worth waiting for.I will put them all on a parts sheet for you when Im done.The Phantom looks much better too 8-) And yes it was a Westland Wessex.

Thank you for doing HMS Victorious, One of my earliest memories of warships is from the early 60s going to the port of Fremantle (Perth WA) and looking up at the Victorious it seemed huge ( I was only 10 years old) made a tremendous impression on me.

Fabulous work Bombhead, but the Jet Blast Deflectors (JBDs) on Ark Royal are all wrong, I suspect as a result of defective source material. She had four panel JBDsat the rear end of water cooled deck plated and no CALE gear, instead hydraulic chocks for either Phantoms or Buccaneers/Gannets were fitted. Also Hermes starboard cat JBD only had two panels, the main and port ones. No starboard panel was installed as the heat was already deflected away from any personnel or deck equipment.
