USS SARATOGA CV-60 Question

Nobody said anything about the 1/520???  Revell kit of Saratoga (cv60) and Forrestall (cv59) these kits are probably much older than the Italarie kits and I wouldn't be supprised if less acurate too.  Photoetch is made for them though so I'm sure a good job can be made of it.  Perhaps some of the other guys know of the pros & cons of the Revell kit.  Whatever kit you build do some rusting around the usuall areas (anchor, water drain areas etc.).  I served on Sara for 8 months while waiting to go to a navy school, 1/3 of a med. cruise and a yard refit in the 70's.  Aircraft carriers are dirteir than you might think.  I was launched in the 50's, so by the time I got on it the ship was 20 yrs. old.

take care............   g.l.
