Wonderful work! It's good to see some Cold War ship items make it onto the forum.

Thomas, that's a wonderful model! Yes, good to see a Cold War carrier. Counting the variety of aircraft on deck - amazing when we think of the F-18-heavy NAVAIR of today. That deck with all of those figures, you brought it to life!
