Hi there packfan, welcome to the club. If you are looking for info on this particular ship, check out modelwarship.com or steelnavy.com.
I started to build her, but it's on indefinite hold right now pending a move back to the good ol' US of A.
The only problem I have run in to so far with it though is the hull was warpped when I put the hull pieces together. That was fixed by running a bead of glue around the flight deck, attaching the hull, then turning it over and placing 2 dictionaries on it for weight for a couple of hours while it set up and dried. By the way, I am doing a water line version.
