@@michalkarczewski6775 i just started this kit one month ago. so far there’s part 1 and 2 on build updates. progressing slow in the beginning . Thanks for watching this video.
I toured CV-10 USS Yorktown in South Carolina several years ago. To me it was much the same as the ships I served on just smaller. It was no longer in WWII trim of course, that would require a major rework to return it to a straight deck. To keep using these ships in the jet age they had to add the angle deck to each of them. Intrepid was converted in at the New York Navy Yard from 1955 to 1957. This modernization of Essex class carriers continued through the Midway class CV-41 - 43. There were two extended bow essex carriers but neither was converted. The first purpose built angle deck carriers in the US Navy were the Forrestal class. A CVA was an attack carrier and a CVS was anti-submarine carrier. I'm not sure exactly when they started using these two designations but about 1975 Enterprise was reverted to a CVN from a CVAN. The airwing they supplied in your kit is more in line with a CVA. The E-1A is the predecessor of the E-2D in use today, an Airborne Early Warning aircraft. The rest of the planes were fighters or attack aircraft. There aren't any S-2A's which would have been a major part of the CVS airwing. You can buy various 3D printed and cast resin aircraft if you want a larger airwing but they are generally much more expensive. Intrepid was a CVA from 1954 to 1961 when she was reclassified as a CVS. I'll be looking forward to your build. Happy modeling.
@@michaelcavanaugh1581 that’s some interesting history there. seems like the intrepid went through many missions including the vietnam war. always interesting to learn about the ship as i build. Thanks Mike.
I concur, 'modelar'..... the CVS is a A/C whose function is anti-Submarine ( thus the " S " in CVS ), while CVA is an "Attack" A/C.🤔 The thing that 'michaelc' has also mentioned is that you have E-1s "Tracer" ( the plane with the funny looking radar dome ) a-c........ but if it is a CVS model you are building, you are going to need S-2s "Tracker" ( plane with NO radar dome ). IF you are going for S-2s...you will need to modify the E-1 A LOT!!! 💯👎 I would TRY to buy one (1) set of "Tracker" set and remove/not use the E-1 that 'Trumpeter' gave you!!👎👎👎👎
@@modelar705 I Just checked.... as I was viewing/listening to your posts, there are.............. but in 48 scale and a few 72 scale!! But, I have Several "L'Arsenal" a-c....and they are VERY Good.... I Mean V E R Y Good!!!! And though they could be expensive, remember that A/C did not really have 80 planes on deck, at least not This ship, During That time being a CVS. So just buying one set Should be suffice for what you need to do, Personally..... I would get the "folded winged" ones, you could Easily break off the wings of just one (1) for "flight", Especially for 350 scale. (for me, it is a little harder in 700 scale). As far as the other a-c, I guess CV-11 had an E-1 or two (2) of those on deck, the 'Sea Sprite" BIG Time....that is an ASW helo and again "L'Arsenal" I ~Believe~ they could have those as well......but Not 3D-printed, so a little cheaper.

@@Hey_MikeZeroEcho22P i think i still have some sea king left from my Big E build. i forgot if there was a Hawkeye. those could be on the CVS11. maybe some sky warrior which is available from trumpeter. i know L’senal. expensive! 😅
"I'm really excited to build it myself, especially since I'll be in New York this October 2024 and it's already on my itinerary. I'll definitely try to recreate it just as it stands now as a museum, complete with the displayed aircraft like the Blackbird, Tomcat, and others. Have fun building it👍-I'm sure it will turn out amazing!✌ It would be fantastic if you build it first, so I can use your work as a reference, just like I did with the Enterprise model. You have such a meticulous approach, and I always admire the precision of your work! Warm regards! 😊"
@@CapLAGOS what!? it’s also on your build list? what a coincidence. and i’m jealous that you get to see the real deal in New York. i know there’s a 1/700 blackbird but have not seen any 1/350. was there a space shuttle on the museum ship? This kit has enough PE so i won’t get additional and waste the ones that comes with the kit. if i were to do a fast build i’ll have to skip the hangar bay and LED. i go with the flow so let’s see how it turns out.
@@modelar705 "Yes, but I haven't bought it yet, as I'm still busy with the escort ships. I don’t actually have the Blackbird yet; I’m still waiting for someone to print the Lockheed SR-71A Blackbird with their 3D printer. Taking your time with the construction is the right approach-that's what I always do. The journey is the goal. ;)"
@@Hey_MikeZeroEcho22P warning note. progress will be slow. this is uncharted grounds for me. this ship is so different from the Big E and kitty. i’ll be scratching my head a lot. hope i don’t pull any hairs. 😅
@@modelar705 Well...... as long as it doesn't take as long as my 'Leopard 2 AVLB'...hahaha...ha............ehhhh........... But, that Leo2, is about 93% complete.... I just need to finish attaching small "Accessories" and painting the camouflage on the hull and sides!!
I own Squadron/Signal's On Deck book of her sister, USS Lexington (CV 16), which has very good refernces for either WWII, or post war. This looks pretty nice, however, the only model that I own that is 1/350 is, Musashi, sister to Yamato, the largest battleship ever built. Take care, and all the best.
I thought that you already built that kit. Anyway I'm gonna keep an eye on your build, especially that kit on my waiting line.
