How ever the crazy glue has been sticking to everything but my models surface .. Due to this issue I lost a prop shaft and mounts and at the state the models in it's really hard to effectively handle it and attempt to reattach I'll either leave it off and deal with it or come up with a solution to mounting it I haven't decided yet..Next up the water slide decals, for the most part this model doesn't require many decals how ever the decals it does include are the markings for the flight deck which are huge and thin and easily tangled up in the process and even harder to get perfect on flight deck because something as big as a 8inch straight line would look horrible if crooked.During this process I lost one or two of the decals to tangles and another two to issues with adherence to the model when I was masking my own lines on the flight deck.Also for the quality of the kit they did mess up slightly on some of the decals size a few were ment to outline the elevators on the deck and they were to small to properly outline so I had to cut them in half and make an out line sorta but it wasn't that great so I'm thinking I'm gonna remove some and leave others and go with painted lines instead.Lastly I have one major complaint, so the model is 1/800 scale and I think they did a decent job with making sure the pieces were all sized properly except for one part set in preticular... The damn spotlights ... The spotlights on this ship are almost 3 times the size of the life boats and other objects which should be bigger or if not close in size.. I have never served on the kitty hawk but I've also never seen a spotlight 3 times my height in the Navy if this was scaled to real life. Seriously idk if this was a mistake or they really thought they were this big but compared to other parts that I have a real life size comparison these spotlights are huge.Anyways that's my update an rant Ill post better pictures soon but I attached a few to give you all something to look at in the mean time[ATTACH=full]1724[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1725[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1726[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1727[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1728[/ATTACH]Look at the spot lights on the super structure and the rear side of the hull.</blockquote>
