Re: Carrier Builders Yard, whats on the Slipway
Some closer shots of Saratoga. Need to do some more work on photo-etch (lost a couple pieces in my last move) , and then figure out the airwing. For the record, I converted an A6 to an EA6 Prowler, and I was pretty proud of it. I dropped it from my dining room table, and it was vacuumed up by my wife. Never to be found. Totally my own fault.

Some closer shots of USS Carl Vinson. Showing the work I did on the hanger deck. Aircraft in hanger were leftovers that I somehow acquired from a Revell Enterprise. A little photoetch work has been done (PE from GMM). Flight deck is being painted. Filled in the deep catapults with sprue.
