The Ship Model Forum

Hi Steven,

I'm not sure I understand your post. Are you asking us to design a new set of nets for aircraft carriers? The nets we already offer can be placed inside photo-etch nets by the modeler, if desired.

I guess if these nets are to be used inside the PE, you need to bend it around them. In my case the nets are glued together, installed and painted, I doubt that the resin would slide clean in, or was it designed underscale enough?

The floater nets we offer are designed true-to-scale and replicate standard 10' x 2' x 2' baskets. Note that aircraft carriers had larger baskets.

Also note that the photo-etch baskets you have may not be scaled properly. Photo-etch baskets made by different PE vendors are known to be sized a bit differently. Depending on which PE nets you have, our nets may fit inside your completed baskets.

PM coming.

Battle of Midway fans! A valued customer in Indiana is building a model of Yorktown-class aircraft carrier USS Enterprise CV-6 in 1/350 scale as she appeared during the Battle of Midway in June, 1942. She chose to replace her plastic kit's "Big E" island with one from Model Monkey. Here are some photos of the model we sent to her. Our design was recently updated to include more detail.

Most plastic USS Enterprise CV-6 kits depict the ship as she appeared in late 1942, during the Battle of Santa Cruz. There were some conspicuous differences in the island's features at that time.
Our Enterprise island is available in other popular scales including 1/700 and for the classic Revell "Battle of Midway Carrier" kit in 1/487 scale. We also offer the island in it's pre-war, 1940 configuration.

And, of course, we offer nameplates for all three ships of the Yorktown-class: USS Yorktown CV-5, USS Enterprise CV-6 and USS Hornet CV-8.
