I've been modelling since I was 8. I'm 35 now. I've done many models in between. Mostly 1/72 military aircraft. currently have four projects in the works- Battlestar Galactica Colonial Viper(Monsters in Motion); 1/24 '66 Ford Mustang Hardtop (Revell); 1/48 P-40 Warhawk (Monogram); and a 1/600 USS Forrestal A/C Carrier (Airfix). The carrier is my first stab at ship building. My biggest frustration is finding photo etchings for this project in either 1/600 or 700 scale. I could use some help with this. Also research photos are hard to come by. Any suggestions, anyone?

Welcome!

1/600 details are hard to comeby, generic railings ladders and if you're lucky radars but that's probably it.....

and enjoy your stay.

Try posting your inquiry in the "Ships" forum. I don't model ships but, I'm sure there is someone there who can help you out.
