I have to admit that normally, I am more interested in RN and DKM WWII subjects - but this one is tempting. If I could find it somewhere - none of my favorite hobby stores shows it yet - not even as a 'future' or 'coming soon' item...

Cheers,

Jan

She is a big beast,

Hull looks very nice though. Wouldn't mind seeing more of the contents of the box.

Member Tim Petta (tjpetta) has sent us in-box images to the kit and we've update the news item posting of the kit with them.

We've also added a link to this build in that news item posting.

I have two CD's that I order from Ray Bean. J.F.K. and Kitty Hawk. Back dating both ships in early 1970's.
