Finally after all the difficulty with all the tiny parts and other issues, I can now call this ship finished.

This is the Soviet Aircraft Carrier Baku currently sailing in the Black Sea.....

Get it?

Enjoy!

And a slightly higher viewpoint to see more of the deck:

There she is in all her glory. Thanks all for looking in, comments are welcome!

Thanks for the great comments guys! Patrick, I still don't achieve the level of greatness of most IPMS ship modelers, but I agree, this one is top shelf.

Joe, maybe, but I doubt it. The competition is so far in advance of me that I'd be hard pressed to place at all.

Bruce, she would. I just haven't the space to build a dio with her in it.
