Very nice.

Why not offer (part of) this image to GHQ for their catalog and "new items" listing for this model?

Thanks for the compliments. The deck markings are Microscale decals. The numerals are white, but I chose silver for the lines to give a grey appearance when covered with dullcote. The surface is posterboard with a gloss finish.

I quite agree with Mark on this part...send an email or something to GHQ and say 'Hey...' :D

But looking at these 2 ships and others as well sure makes me want to get into WW2 naval battles :D

Man!
If there were some Panthers and Skyraiders on the deck of those, I could almost see Lt Cdr Brubaker up on the forward catapult getting "hit in the kisser" with the spray.
Where do we find such.....models?

Awesome work!

Don! Don! Another vote for early cold war 1/2400 scale airplanes!

I second that request.

So maybe that's two more votes.
