My latest 1/350 scale model...and the latest to my Doolittle Raid collection.
I have the Hornet, CV-8 which launched the B-25s, I have the Grayson, DD-435, one of the destroyers that helped escort them (there were eight destroyers), this heavy cruiser (there were four of them in the group), the USS Vincennes, CA-44, which tragically was launched six months later at the 1st battle of Savo Island, and I will next build the USS Enterprise, CV-6, which provided the air cover for the Hornet as they sailed across the Pacific to attack Japan.
That will leave me with both carriers and a destroyer and a cruiser escorts...two of the ones that were actually there.
It was one heck of a risk, and an all American tale of grit and courage.

Great job Jeff
I had an uncle who died aboard the USS Juneau in 1942 (Sullivan Brothers) My mothers younger brother.
And here I thought it was the USS Philadelphia that went back and forth in time. . .
Amazing work, My friend. I wish I had the patience for such a project.
Best,
