Here is my out of the box USS Midway! The completed model is a great showpiece. Overall, I spent 3 months building the kit. I spent a couple hours in the evenings during the week and a couple devoted Saturdays and Sundays on assembly and painting. The fit and lack of a need for putty make the build enjoyable. You’ll have the typical time with photoetch, take your time and look for as many references as possible to complete it. These fine details really add to the finished look of Trumpeter’s USS Midway CV-41 model. The PE on the island is a real bear. I'd have to do this a 3rd time to really make it look nice. That's probably the only part I'd like to improve on. The flight deck is my favorite part. It just seems to look the part of an aircraft carrier from WW2, even though she was late to the party
