I have that kit as a sea plane carrier with the PE set. Neat review.

I once saw a model (in a magazine) of USS wolverine. A great looking aircraft carrier that was a converted paddle steamer. Then there was HMS Habakkuk that didn't get past a concept model, although Churchill was interested. An aircraft carrier that was kept afloat by ice.

I built CV-1 several years ago with the Trumpeter upgrade kit a/ wooden deck. Insane pe.

[@jdmodels1968]

Almost bought this when it came out but was rather disappointed the lattice framework was all plastic rather than PE although, as you say, there is a PE set available to replace it. Re the Ford being the latest carrier, given your record with ships, I reckon she might not be the time you get this one finished 😄

[@kenthektor3869]

Looks lovely Nigel! Have you ordered the addon PEset?

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Yes, I did say I had ordered it in this video.

[@randytaylor1258]

Were those bagged parts slide-molded, or were they resin?
You wanted something simple. Tha etched set you've ordered will put the hex on that. 😅

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Slide moulded

Named after Sam Langley who built the arodrome which famously failed to fly. Just before the wright brothers succeeded
