Interesting. I have that kit on my "maybe build it one day, even though it isn't new mold".

Re. photo #4.
Q: Are those raised details on the deck? Any idea what that detail is? Netting or something?

Those raised details, would be usually the painting on the deck 🤔 which is bizzare choice.

They're raised decklines. I tried going over them last night (using a white marker which I for sneaky touch-ups and odd jobs) ... and it made a right bleedin' mess. Grey paint coming back out tonight... think I might just leave them un highlighted. Decals would've been a better solution.

If you are open to suggestions, if you wanted to remove them, it could be fairly easy using a Tamiya chisel, assuming one is careful. Still a fair amount of plastic to remove. Any scratches can ofc be filled in with putty.
I thought at first this carrier might have arrestor hooks and such, but then I remembered that these are Harriers that just land vertically probably.

Exactly that Treehugger, VTOL carriers.. so no need for traps and cats.

The square ones are for deck elevators. so if you removed em, would need to re-scribe them

Maybe in my next life... having already assembled most of it, it would end in tears!
