Looks great Matt. Is the base bought or DIY?

Thanks great!...…I built that recently and opened the wind brakes... I also cheated on the aircraft number '409'.

...I retire from the Police this month and my shoulder number was '640'....

Excellent model, Maciej.
A beast of a machine, nicely weathered and excellent photographs.

Glad you attached it to the "Fighting I"........served on that ship in '72 & '73. She was decommissioned upon our return to Norfolk Va. She's now a floating Museum in New York.....hope to visit someday. Great build Maciej, and thanks for jogging my memory. Rick H.

Hi Rick
Thanks and I'm glad that with this build I could bring back some of your memories. Not knowing a lot about this ship I had to read a lot about her and what a great history, unfortunately I couldn't find good pictures of landing deck so I decided to combine two different types. As I'm planning to do some similar projects in the future do you mind if I ask you some questions when ready for build?
Thanks
Matt

I spent a lot of time on the flight deck Maciej. I also have a book on the Essex Class Carriers that might help........when you are ready to start your projects just send me a PM and I will hopefully have what you need.

Don't think you could do any better detailing Maciej, those decals on the prop are just perfect , so well placed as are the others. Weathering with the exhaust marks looks perfect.

Very nice work Matt, suitably weathered and great to have a piece of flight deck to show it off from :thumb2: :thumb2:
