Martin J. Quinn backdated Trumpeters 1:350 Lexington to a 1939/40 USS Saratoga. He used some after market sets to achieve this wonderfull flattop! Enjoy it here, or if you have the chance to go to the Battleship New Jersey Museum (NJ) you can see it "in person".

PS: I would also like to said that this is a mix between a Feature and a MOD, because of the text that I have included are some of Martin''s quotes in our forum... not really an article - but I think it would help anyone pretending to do the same convertion!

PS2: As usual you can make comments and copy the photos to yourself - for reference of course :-)

Just to let you know that five more in progress shots were added!

Thanks

Very very nice Martin! Nice clean build. I really like the way your flight deck came out as well as the aircraft. Overall the whole model was well executed.

I also think this was an excellent job. Those in progress shots look so odd without the black stripe. It must really be something to know your work is on display at such a place.
