I did a refit from the Trumpeter 1/350 USS Nimitz, to the USS ROnald Reagan. There are quite a few differnces that I researched and built/rebuit into this model.

It was a lot of fun and in my condition is very theraputics for me.

Jeff a question if I may. Without loose lips sinking ships. Do we have enough carrier groups for your liking?

Nice work. Many years ago I'd build model ships...though not to the detail you've done here.

That’s a lot of work you put into the details and it paid off dividends. This is a spectacular group of models and I could spend an afternoon just admiring them. Thanks for sharing your journey in assembling them and for the all the awesome photos covering each step of the way!

Neat. When I lived in Bremerton, WA, I got to see a lot of the carriers that were based there and the Lincoln up in Everett. Saw the Nimitz when it was there, the Carl Vincent, Stennis, and others. We got to tour the MO before she went to Hawaii. They have the destroyer, the one the North Vietnamese fired on that started the Vietnam war, there in the harbor in Bremerton and you can tour it.

I looked at the photos first, and thought it was cool. I went back and read what you did and now it is really cool.

The model looks great but the time and details to make this post is equally impressive.

I built a lot of models when I was a kid but never had the patience for such an endeavor that would eventually be blown apart with firecrackers.

Very Nice.

Meanwhile: “and the scratch built Mk-29”

Oops, I thought, a MiG-29? Crashed from a flyover?

NO. A MK-29 Launcher!
