Looking on the money all the way, great work. I can just imagine all the paint jockeys once they get their hands on this beauty.

I am a paint jockey, and I can't wait till I get my hands on the paintwork! Trust me, after slaving away on it since November, all I want to do at this point is sit back in Photoshop and paint away till I get pixel-covered fingers! :lol: :lol:

Steve, looking awesome mate!

"Paint jockey", that is a better term than the one Skippy tagged to me, "Texture Monkey" !

Thanks mate, she is definitely getting somewhere, but I've still got a while left on her. If I can get some good time in on her in June, we might have a beta release in late July. Emphasis on the 'might'. :lol:

It looks nice indeed Mgr, can't wait to park her on it. The Vikrant would be good as a home for INS Sea Hawks (which will be coming, don't worry). Since I am feeling particularly sadistic, I think I'll do the Mk.101 long tail versions for the German Navy too (complete with lovely little Ecko pod).

The good news is I broke the seal and finally started cutting out the u/c bays last night and it's going pleasingly well. What a relief! I should have some more WIP shots in a couple of weeks time...cheers for the patience all.
