That's some beautiful work, Carl! The weirdness with the kit's hangar is bizarre for a Pit-Road design (which are usually first class), but it seems like they have issues with modern USN ships. Case in point is the misshapen superstructure on their Burke/ Kongo class in 1/700 (the 1/350 is fine). Every so often, I hassle Tom at JAG to ask if they can do a Spruance and a Burke in 1/700... Again, great work!
