Here are some pics showing Kitty Hawk/Connie hulls and a Nimitz hull and also my progress to date on my JFK, my route is via the Kitty Hawk hull.

Here is a support ship, it is a JAG Cimarron, i decided that she would depict USS Platte as she was during Desert Storm, i painted the well deck and forecastle deck and then put her to one side and concentrated on my carriers, during my research prior to recommencing work on Platte, i discovered to my horror that she was not Jumboised during Desert Storm, i was in a quandry now as i really wanted a Desert Storm Platte, yet contemplating hacking a kit of JAG quality was hard, anyways i decided to go for it and removed a 4.7 cm section, i was relieved after the task and found my cuts had been straight, holes were drilled and pins inserted and both sections joined together.

just have to reposition a few of the rigs and cut out the boat openings, overall though i am very pleased with the progress.

Any questions or comments are welcome

Happy modeling

John

Your fault Ranger, JFK, BigE instead of Hawk, Connie.

Hmmmn

I guess you better build San Diego too then, Kitty and Connie will go well with Ranger as would an Independence, maybe a Mayport with Forrestal and Saratoga too

They look Great by the way

Happy modeling

Hiya gtb,
I would love to do that as a dio, Principe De Asturias is one of my favourite carriers, if i can get plans i will scratchbuild her, or i may take a slightly different route.

Happy Modeling
