Oh, MAN, that ain't FAIR!!!!
I guess we all figured it was coming, and I really already have WAY too much in my stash, but I am going to HAVE to do this one.
Think I'll wait and make sure that there's extra aircraft kits available separately. Not going to do this unless it's got the complete air group!!!

This is a ship (and a time period) I've been fascinated with since I was a kid, so I almost have not choice but to do this one!!!

I see SBU and F2A-- 
Me doing the Snoopy dance
Did you see the artwork on the kitbox....HOLY COW !!!!!!!!!!!! Finally something extraordinary in that department as well. This kit should sell quite well for them Well, sure glad I didn't invest too much money in my previous airwing. Still have a few Devastators left and now I can replace my Buffaloes and Vidicators with super Trumpeter vrsions. And to make it even more perfect, none of the aircraft are glued down so I am set

Ok - so what is a "TG2 Torpedo Bomber"? I couldn't find that one in my "American Warplanes" book by Bill Gunston. Maybe they mean a Martin T4M Torpedo Bomber?
Dang - I didn't used to do 1:350 ships - but now so far have the Trumpeter Lexington (1942), Hornet and the Essex. Might have to get this one too as is from my alltime favorite aircraft carrier era....
later

Chris:
So far I have built the 350 scale Essex, NImitz, and Lexington. I have the Hornet in the stash. You won't regret purchasing any of these kits. I would imagine any of the others which are modifications / types of the same kit are equally splendid

Nope. Built by Great Lakes.
