Looking good. Are those platforms from SHAPEWAYS?
Mark and Red great jobs love your work.
Reminds me of my days as Midshipmen visiting these ships every time one came into port nearby.

Prime the port side. Saw some minor mistakes. If any of you decide to back either Connie or the Hawk. Get the Shapeways Kitty Hawk back dating stuff from Greg. I'm back dating my J.F.K to the Nam era also,but she will be a full hull carrier.

Kitty Hawk looks great!

I am doing the PE for JFK around the catwalks and sponsons. Yuk! I hate PE work.


Keep up the great work!

Yeah, that includes the sponsons underneath the large sponson. By the way guys this is the Connie. I wanted to put her here because of this thread. Have to keep it going. Hiya John and Hippy! :wave_1:
