USS Gambier Bay CVE-73

 

 

Etched parts for the ship are from WEM. Instructions are the weakest part of this set. 

Masking the hull was another time-pit. The Hasegawa instructions provide templates, but these are 2-d projections and are useless on the curved 3-d surfaces. 

 

Aircraft were detailed with a VeryFire set. Spent quite a bit of time on trimming excess decal film.
