Taking the 1/350 Connie and turn it into CVA-62 Tonkin Gulf 1965. I will post later tonight.

Did some work. Not feeling well.

Looks rough but that what happens when you convert. Starboard side will look better by Sat. Happy Modeling!

Looking better.

Mardis,

Is is shaping up nicely.

Thanks Mark. I wanted a 1/350 Forrestal class but no company was going to do one. So I took the step to convert. It's going okay. Taking my time one step at a time.

starboard almost done.

Mardis,

yet another very special build of yours, very nice start and smart work! I'm in and following!

Cheers

Hi Mardis,

Your CVA-62 is looking better and better. I have the ancient (and flawed) Revell 1/540 Forrestal in my stash, but I haven't yet had the courage to take it on. Maybe your Independence will be an inspiration - or at least some great reference notes once I start!

Keep up the good work, I'm following your build with interest.

Thanks guys,starboard side is done,

Looking good so far!

Mardis,

very nice work, she's coming along really good!

Cheers
Jan

portside work on.

portside almost done. Lots of sanding and corrections to be done.

Very nice work on the hull, she is shaping up nicely.

Mark

Agreed. And that capacious hangar deck is just crying out for 1960s aircraft!

Thanks guys! Hull is prime and needs p.e. After that the hanger bay bulkheads and doors are next.

Looking sweet!

portside is done. just needs p.e. next up hangar bulkheads. Happy Modeling! Hey Steve

Thanks guys! I will finish the hangar bay tomorrow. I will be sending photos of the air wing also tomorrow. That person did my 1967 Kitty Hawk air wing decals. I will be working on that Monday.
