Paul - ship looks great! I was interested in your comment about masks being useless. So you made your own masks? The aircraft looked especially nice. How did you paint the canopy's? It seems that they would be too small to paint. And this was out of the box with no after-market? Again, the model looks really nice.

Thanks for your comment Paul! Indeed the masks for the hull I made myself (based on those from Hasegawa, but corrected for the curvatures).
Actually that was also done for the ships identification numbers as I didn't think the provided decals would work well on the corrugated surface.
For the aircraft I used a etched set from Infini models, the canopies are etched parts. For the ship, I used a set from White Ensign Models.
