All finished 
I decided to animate the scene by having one of the Sea Vixens taking off 
A really enjoyable build after my somewhat fraught last two ship-builds  When you enjoy one as much as this, it makes you wish you'd done all the etch and whistles and bells

No Michael, just paint them 
Getting close to the finish now

Thank God! Imagine if you had to fill and sand them

I like the Javelin hanging off the end, a nice touch

Ratch, I'm disappointed in you.
I was expecting to see a miniature pint-glass supporting each of those aircraft 
But seriously, that is a nice model. Very colorful... or rather, colourful where you're at.
