                        After years of building 1/72 US Navy aircraft, I stopped when I got my private pilot ticket and started flying for real.

                        Now, medical reasons have forced me to stay on the ground, so I'm starting modeling again.

                        I'm starting out with 1/700 scale water line WW 2 US aircraft carriers. I'd like to hear from those who got experience with this type of ship model.

                        Cheers,

                        Mike F6F

                        Well, welcome back to modelling. And welcome to the forum. This is the greatest place to go if you have ANY questions. Stupid or not, try it here. You may want to post this in the ships forum. You would probably get more answers there.

                        I am a private pilot as well. I am thinking about leeting my medical lapse to persue other interests. However I have always had at least three models under construction at a time. Currently working on Type VIIc u-boat, converting a CJ-7 jeep to a CJ-5. Building a F2G R-4360 Corsair in 1/72 scale, and bulding a metal diesel powred back-hoe for My model rail road. I am planning on selling my Full size gliders in the next year to help fund my new buisness ventures. But I will keep modeling to keep my piece of mind. I lost count of my unassembeld kits at around 700.
