IIRC, Tanker Builder had a thread on the CDG Heller kit here, should only be a couple of pages back.  He doesn't post pics yet, but might have some insight on AM stuff for it.

Pics need an outside host site, ie. Photobucket, Flikr, Imageshack, etc.  Several threads in the technical help sections at the bottom of the main page.

OK, client changed his mind again and wants to stick with the Charles DeGaulle AC from Heller in 1/400.  He doesnt like the toyish looks of the deck airplanes, so if you have suggestions or vendors who carry decent PE details and landing gear, as well as PE for the ship's numerous railings, nets and radar gear, that would be a big help. Thx again.  

Oh, and how the heck do you guys post pics on these FSM forums?

yes the HMS Invincible can be modified from the Illustrious kit. i'm doing that in 1/700 scale using i think the Invincible to do the Illustrious & the Ark Royal. 

Yeah we do that too. Essex, Enterprise, Ranger.

There's also the WW2 Lusty, Heller 1/400.

There have been 5 ships to carry the name Illustrious. Its common practice for the RN to re use names.

According to this review, the Airfix 1/350 kit shows her after her last refit in 2005.
