The decal sheet includes numbers and names for 9 Bogue, 11 Card, 12 Copahee, 13 Core, 16 Nassau, 18 Altahama, 20 Barnes, 23 Breton, 25 Croatan and 31 Prince William.
Deck numbers for 20.
Enough markings for eight aircraft.
My criticisms- the aircraft are marginal. 4 each F6F, 4 TBF, 4 SB2C and 4 F4Us. The fighters are too small, they all have very soft detail, and the landing gear are pegs.
I bought a set of Wildcats. I couldn't find any with folded wings, which was usually how they were on these little ships, so I just used eight as though about to take off.
The flight deck has one cat. I think some of the Bogues had two, but I let it go.
The 5" guns sit on big bases, as on a CV, but those don't fit well in the little galleries under the stern. I put them in as is, but a little modification would help.
The 40s are nice, the 20s are acceptable.
The mast and radar are per usual for plastic. Tom's sells a CVE set that's a real bargain for $ 10 (it is after all about the size of a credit card). That gets you plenty of radar options, a new mast, 20s (which I saved for another day), a new mast and other stuff like a/c props. I pinged off a couple of parts that were kind of critical so I ended up buying two. But it's all usable. And railings need to be obtained. Again, I used about 1/2 of a fret and they are usable of course on other ships.
To answer the question about the feathered pattern, I practiced a little with my a/b and it went better than I expected. One thing I learned when I was building 1/72 fighter planes is that it often isn't possible to mask the whole model's camouflage at once, even color by color. I painted the entire hull 5-L, then identified 10 areas of the blue and masked and painted them one by one.
I was happy with the results, only the second 1/700 ship I've built. I added a CVL and three CLs to my stash.
