There have been several accounts of the operation to kill Osama bin Laden, including one by a former Navy seal, one by a Navy seal who participated in the raid, as well as the movie Zero Dark Thirty.

In this new book Killing bin Laden - Operation Neptune Spear 2011, author Peter F. Panzeri Jr. has developed another highly detailed account of the hunt leading up to the raid on the bin Laden's compound in Abottabad, Pakistan, and his ultimate death.

Bibliography and Critical Sources

As stated in the book “The most dominant influences on this account are those of the 880+ page Pakistani Abottabad Commission Report for its inclusion of candid raw data, the personal account in interviews of former US Navy SEAL “Mark Owen,” and the abundance of detailed information on Operation Neptune Spear released in 2011 to the producers and screenwriters of the film Zero Dark Thirty.

Sections of the book include:

Part 3

After scratching my head for quite some time I’ve finally came up with a plan to paint and assemble the main parts of the passenger cabin and move forward on the whole plan to complete this model.

First paint and assemble the passenger benches (described in Part 2). Then dry fit and glue the cabin sides to the boarding area sides. That would create two main lateral sides. Mask and paint the sides to your desired color.

Then paint the cabin bulkheads/division from the boarding area, but don’t bother with the clear parts yet.

Eduard is well known for their photo etch accessories to help modelers enhance their models. These sets are just another great addition for modelers. The one thing with these particular parts is that you will have to cut and fit them. I used the 6x6 screen and the 1mm Stripes on an Academy M551 turret storage rack to show as an example of what can be done to enhance your models. I chose this particular kit as they used vinyl screen for the sides and the bottom of the rack was solid bottom with a raised screen molded on it.

The 6x6 and 4x4 screens come on one photo etch steel fret. The material cuts very easy with a scissors. I used a template to cut out the shapes that I needed and attached them with Gator Glue. These screens could also be used as screening material over air intakes.
