Italeri Super Sara
Be gentle with me, this is the first boat I've attempted since I was at school! (clue- flares were "in")

Re: Italeri Super Sara
I've seen this on your WW thread PT and you've done a great job of it. Similarly, I haven't built a ship since I was at school. Clue - flares, platform soles and "three star" jumpers (remember those?) were the height of fashion
Doing - Tamiya 1/35th Universal Carrier.

Re: Italeri Super Sara
Many thanks chaps, The kit pretty much fell together, the hassle was the painting instructions (or lack of detail therein) and finding photos of the Sara in '69 where I could see how all the sticky-up and sticky-out bits around the big chimney bit should look. (I'm not very nautical )

Re: Italeri Super Sara
Thanks for the kind words guys, I wanted to do a decent job of the Sara because a pal served aboard her. If it was not for a timed Group Build and I had taken more time to plan it out I would have cut out the JBDs before assembly and positioned a couple of them up and had one of the SLUFs taking off
.... No doubt!
Right from the start calling a carrier a 'boat' would have probably got me a flogging before the big sticky-up pole!
......oh bugger! I've done it again!

Superb work - a lovely diorama. I can feel the wind blowing down the length of the flight deck.
I still love flares (but don't tell a soul!)
