Hello EJ:

Thanks for scoping out my build and your compliments. This is taking shape nicely. It's interesting to see how different of a ship Saratoga was during the war years than what it was prior to. I will follow along as you progress through the build.

Nice wingy things. When I did my 1/700 ESSEX, I put all the star and bar decals on upside down!! I didn't change them.
