What kind of Air Group does this kit come with, ie does it have the B-25s from the Raid on Tokyo (and if so does it have enough?) Also, how difficult would it be to convert Hornet into either Yorktown or Enterprise?

Thanks,

John

The 700th Trumpeter Hornet comes with 16 B25's, 12 dauntless, 12 devestators and 12 wildcats. Check the review section for detail photos. As far as the conversion, most changes would be to the island. I'll post some reference material when I get a bit more time.
