Ian not sure but the instructions say's to remove detail from those 4 square porthole and fill I thought it was just the Rodney that had them.
Ian now I think about it your not on about the portholes ?
WELL Ian im up at the front with the rable near the door in case of Matron payin Brain a visit as he is a newbie an in case there is any tea or cakes an to watch brians build close up to learn more as this should be a crackin build as ive never seen a 1/200 ship built before an ive been lookin at them size kits in the model shop for a USS NIMITZ CVN 68 kit as if i can afford it id buy one but i dont think they make her yet ? as i wish now i hadnt sold my big 1/144 th scale Nimitz as that was a crackin model but really to big to keep in our house but a 1/200 th may fit in as i love the carriers
Your very welcome
Chris not seen a Nimitz class carrier in 1/200......I actually went onboard USS Nimitz in 1981 when she was anchored in stokes bay, there massive
I was on HMS Leander at the time tiny in comparison
Not as a kit but.... Here she is https://www.motionrc.com/products/b...700mm-67-usa-aircraft-carrier-rtr-bnc1015-003 (All 5'6"or 16cm of it). yours for a couple of thousand freedom tokens
Today I have the opticians then going to do some more porthole drilling and a bit more PE

YOU Lucky devil as nimitz came an anchored out in the solent but i missed her as i dint know at the time but went all the way around JFK when she was here in the solent an yes they are massive part of the reason i like them an the design a more bueatyfull ship ive not seen every thing on her looks right in my opinion an yesa R/N leander would be small compared to the carrier as JFK WAS massive an she not as big as nimitz but i videod her for over an hr an really enjoyed lookin round the ship our new ones are no comparion in my opinionChris not seen a Nimitz class carrier in 1/200......I actually went onboard USS Nimitz in 1981 when she was anchored in stokes bay, there massive
