I'm building a vintage Revell ESSEX 1961 as I served on her.

I just got my new Photo CD from Ray Bean. over 350 pics of ESSEX class carriers, 1946 on, CV9 tru CV47, Data drawings, data pics of close ups, SCB27, SCB125, even aircraft shots and a history of the SCB27 conversions. This will be a big help to me I know.

I know Mardis is going to love this. I don't think he has done a post-war Essex modernization yet.

Hmmm, post war Essex with an angled flight deck?? Now that is a needed kit for sure.

I for one would love to see that.
