When I read Nimitz, I allways have to look. I really enjoy the pictures. Real cool is the single Tomcat.
Good details and weathering.
One question though. What is that control/switch doing there?

Great work.

They control the lights! bottom photo.... cool. Boy Kostas, you're really pushing the limits with these carriers. I've got a 1/350 independence in my stash, but am afraid to touch it with all the carrier awesomeness coming from your workbench lately.
