Ok here we have the first inhabitants of the seaplane tender: My three Curtiss Seahawks are finished. I got lost a bit in detailing as it was fun and a challenge in this scale but I feel it was worth it as most of the observers later will have a closer look at the airplanes. The rigging wires were made out of thinnest telephone wire (learned from RedDuster 
) and the wireless cord was done with ultrafine black lycra thread. The stars of Trumpeters Seahawk kit does had stars but not with red point as necessary for the planned timescale. I painted the red points with a 0,3 mm red pigment liner pen before sealing everything with a matte cote. The Washing was done with Vallejo black glaze
Not sure were I will place the third one, but I have an idea already…
Super-Zoom (looks quirky in this way but overall look better with normal eyes)
And two of them already installed on their trolleys (spares from a White Ensign set for my sole other aircraft carrier in the stash, Gambier Bay)
Just in time arrived my ordered extra set of Consolidated P2Y Ranger from TRUMPETER to display a fully loaden ship as intended in one above mentioned picture of the real ship. So lets start to assemble another 12 seaplanes…
