Looks great Karl. It really is a fun kit to build. Certain others ( who shall remain nameless ) might even enjoy it. It's not a Terryble kit at all.

Made this one back when it first came out, it is one the finest examples of Tamiya ever, and you are doing it justice!

As usual Karl you have excelled yourself in selection. Your of to a good start as well my friend and I particularly like the picture at the beginning and I note that you have the 'OLD FOX' well tethered.

thanks all.
it has been pointed out to me by Bruce, who has some knowlage of this type that the Martlet V was an FM-1 armed with only 4 guns, my kit is an F4F-4 with 6 guns so the outer 2 have to go along with all the associated holes and panels.
so here's how she sits today
and these are the bits that need to be filled
