Thank you Mark. I just jumped all over the Carriers GB, ordered the good old Revell Midway in this case the FDR box, and the Tamiya Bogue.
Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
Thanks my Friend. Look forward to seeing your Talents on the GB......Cheers mark

Wow! Great looking build. I work ships in 1700 also because of lack of room and 1/350 cost a little more (a lot) than I can spend. Keep going.
On the bench-1/350 Zvezda Varyag, Trumpeter Slava class Varyag and Tamiya CVN65 Enterprise. 1/400 Academy Titanic and 1/96 DeAgostini Victory.
Thank you Navy 07. Thank you Jockster, I love the way you Brits say "lovely".
So for Surfsup's GB, I am planning to build the Tamiya Bogue Class CVE as a Royal Navy Escort.
TigerIIThat is an awesome build. I can appreciate it alot since my son is on its sister ship USS Essex on deployment. Hopefully he'll be home for the holidays.
I hope he makes it home for the holidays too. Please thank him for his service in the greatest Navy in the world.
I served aboard ESSEX, but the old one, CVS-9, "The Oldest and the Boldest". I now serve as the assistant treasurer for the USS ESSEX, CV/CVA/CVS-9/LHD-2 Association. We "oldies" are pleased and proud that the LHD-2 carries on the name and traditions of ESSEX.
I have the 1/350 Wasp kit and aftermarket stuff to build it up to be ESSEX. Gotta get on that thing soon.

Thanks Tiger.
More importantly, thank you to your family for giving your service. It means a great deal to all of us, in so many ways.
And thank you EJ for your service.
Great group of people here.
Essex LHD-2 is a little different than the LHA. A more modern ship that can handle LCACs. That would be a nice model too, I am interested in Gator ships.
I had lunch with my friend Jack the other day. His son just retired from the Corps, a Harrier pilot. He served on Tarawa and I am looking forward to showing him the model.
EJ; thank you for your service and sacrifices that you've made for our country. BTW EJ, my son is in the Corps, but you're correct. It IS the greatest Navy in the world.
GM; Thank you for your kind words and above all for your support. I know that your friend's son will enjoy seeing the model of the Tarawa. I'll bet he'll even volunteer where on the deck he landed his Harrier when he piloted back to the ship and what part of the hangar deck it was stored.
I've noticed that I'm in the company of some great modelers here. I enjoy the hobby and will keep building and posting.
