Really nice job.Do you know how many hours you have in her?Also what era is the build as I noticed the low viz grey on the SBDs and the rudder stripes on the Wildcats.I built the revell model of Enterprise on vacation at the beach.I still remember that 47 years ago.Tried everything to ballast her upright but to no avail.If you have been to the P-cola naval museum you will see some beautiful carrier models in 72nd scale.Again well done.

Probably have 200 =- 300 hours in her.

Lot of fun.

My favorite two builds were the USS ROnald Reagan, CVN-76

and the USS Iwo Jima, LHD-8

I have every major carrier built by the US, Russia, China, the UK, Jaoan, and france.

Except the new Ford and new Queen Elizabeth. As soon as a kit becomes available for them...if I am still drawing breath, I will get them and build them.

Also have all of the escorts for each from each of those nations.
