Thanks, to all of you for the kind words. My next effort, for the Carrier GB, is going to be much better.

A 1/24 HMS Ark Royal in 1940 fit with a full compliment of Swordfish, Skuas, Rocs and Fulmars perhaps? That would be much better.

I honestly do not know, Dan. I would guess about 125 hours.

Nah, Bruce..... ships are not my bag.... Now I might just try a Swordfish, if I could find one.

Actually Charles, a balsa and tissue stringbag would look perfect.

Very brave choice, both in subject matter and materials - and it's turned out beautifully.

Cheers,
