Thanks for the kinds words :)

Sometime I wonder if I am adding to much detail grinning smiley

Several weeks ago I was given several war time photographs that show the piping under the aft decking. From these new photographs, I was able to confirm that I had corrected estimate the placements of the fuel oil and the engine lubricating oil lines. In addition, I was able to added more detail to the piping for the Air Inlet Trucking and Main Air Truck Lines. I redraw all my pipe flanges more accurate with better dimensions, and with the correct the number of bolts and nuts on the flanges, and additional detail to the pressure hull valves.

While researching the photographs, I noted an error in most models and drawings, with the position of the outlet piping for the Air Inlet mast, so I corrected this also :)

Here are a few of my new drawings.
