This is an accurate model with the correct number of additional containers positioned either side of the ship.
As with all printed models, some of the detail is a bit heavy, but overall it only required minor filling and sanding on the hull to get a reasonable finish.
In fact the most challenging part of the build was painting the containers neatly!
I was unable to source a clear photos that showed the complete deck and disposition of the aircraft. I am around 80% happy with what I have selected and am awaiting a final Chinook to complete the load. A Lynx is listed as being on board but again, I couldn't find a photo showing where this was stowed.
Killing '2 birds with one stone' I fell back on the old expedient of hiding some dodgy painting of the deck markings by parking the Lynx on top of one of the rough bits. Ditto the SHAR on alert.
Thanks to Kelvin and Hugh for their input and help.
I won't be posting any really close shots of the model as they will show up various issues with the aircraft. I will post some WIP shots on the 1250 FB Group site.
