Sadly I only have bad things to say about this build.
1, not enough photographs.
2, while sitting on the stand, a better backdrop would do this a power of good.
So as you can imagine if the above are bad comments, imagine how long the list of good comments there would be ? Very nice overall, thank you for sharing.

This is a worthy companion to the 1:48 Gambier Bay we have on display on the Midway's Hangar Deck--the details match well.

Superb work!

Carriers can be very tedious, I applaud your patience and your skill.

Your aircraft are very impressive knowing that they are only about an inch long. Very well weathered and compliment the work you did on the ship.

Very impressive work. I have Gambier Bay high up on my "to do" list, but have no illusions that my rendition of her would look anywhere near that good! Congratulations on a job very well done.

Cheers!
