some of you might remember my attempt to build a 1/144 harrier carrier out of a 1/400 clemancau kit, that was about 2 years ago, now i have attempted a first expantion of the deck, to ease operations with harriers and F-35B's.
the ship is now 1/2 wider then she orriginaly was.

my plan war to buy the revell 1/400 enterprise, since that was a longer and bigger carrier, but then i reallised i could make the carrier i have bigger at only  a fraction of the cost  :dum:

cost carrier (2006): €42
cost expantion styreen: €1,20
the results:...........priceless  :lol:

so here's the result  ^_^

1. the Hadock before the refit, pic taken about 1.5 years ago
2. the hadock on sea trials after the refit, note the wider deck  ^_^
3. the underbelly shows the expansion work nd the support struts (to be hidden and sealed off at a later date)





on the bench:

-all kinds of things.
