The original concept was that everything would be the same to facilitate easy handling. Your typical TEU, 8X8X20 is now probably the rarest "standard" unit!

@ArnoldAmbrose Jeff, internally too, 8 on deck, 10 or so stacked under deck. All organised with heaviest on the bottom. Ballast can also be loaded, and huge amounts of fuel also carried, bear in mind these beasts are burning 200 tonnes or more every day, we would often load 12,000t heavy fuel at a time.

Nice job, have one on the go, including an etch set, the wem decals and a bunch of home printed decals of numerous other container operators that will, at some stage, hopefully look as good as yours. Great subject as I've spent many years driving similar vessels around the world myself.

been searching to try and find a passable option for the ruby red on display ZK35E before I revert to the black option. Xtraxdecal says BS381c 542,but haven't found a model paint equivent, vallejo being my biggest collection.

Thanks Alan, Well thats kinda good news for me. Planning a little diorama and having all weapons mounted makes things more visually appealing. Thanks.

Can anyone please advise. When a submarine submerged, were the small arms unshipped and taken below, I'm assuming that would be the case to protect the finer workings of the weapons. The muzzles of big deck guns would then be plugged? Thanks.

Thanks Julian, yep, HAS.3 sorry, more specific! Did come across those, and also their wild cat set but will do that one with the big revell kit.ooks like I may have to make some myself. Many thanks. Simon

I've been looking around various places, including the usually helpful Hannants search engine but have failed to identify any source for UK Lynx Mk.3 1/48 decals. I suspect something migjt be tucked away on a multiple aircraft sheet. Pointers most welcome. TIA Simon

There is a very good build series on youtube. MM Scale Models

Didn't even realise I had a Hellcat addiction until I think about it now, couple of the duel boxings, (well such great value around £25), a couple of the old Royal boxings, (maybe NOT such great value!) and probably about every other Eduard release of them. I even started on the weekend Hellcat 'plumbing' up the engine since it hasn't any of the nice bits lol

Does anyone know if there are any mask sets available for the large superstructure clear area? Thanks.

Thanks folks, set to the wing it is!

Perhaps to the wing me thinks? http://www.grubbyfingersshop.com/walkaround_galleries/Hawker Typhoon IB Walkaround MN235 RAF Toronto 2016/content/index.html but difficult angle.

Thanks @JasonC you explained it much better! Thats what I meant.
