Step 22/140: Add details to the flight deck's top and bottom, specifically air-pressure containers. Install the first LED to eventually light the lower deck.

Step 20/140:A major keel section completes the forward hull, adding rigidity to the previously unstable bow. It includes openings for the display stand and brings the hull’s weight to about 1.5 kg.

The CVL22 kit only contains two aircraft. A SBD and a F9F (never operated on it). So lets print some more SBDs for the air wing.

Working on the forward CIWS and PE parts (which have to be trimmed a bit).

Step 18/140: Next hull part. Limited space makes tightening screws difficult, so attaching each new hull section takes more time than expected.
