http://www.goldmm.com/ - Gold Medal Models has the decals, and I can attest to the quality of everything Loren Perry sells. It will fit, first time, every time. http://www.goldmm.com/ships/350-7D.htm appears to be the set you need.

Something's wrong here.  The Enterprise was CV-6, and was of a completely different class than the Intrepid.  CV-10 was (and still is, since she's preserved) the second carrier named Yorktown.  That ship is indeed a sister-ship of the Intrepid.  I wonder if your 1/350 kit is perhaps the Trumpeter Yorktown.  To my knowledge no company makes a 1/350 version of the old Enterprise (as opposed to the current, nuclear-powered one, which is in a couple of companies' ranges.

As for decals - check out the offerings of Gold Medal Models.  An easy route there is the Steel Navy website (www.steelnavy.com).  At the bottom of the home page are a bunch of manufacturers' icons; click on the one for Gold Medal Models.  The company offers several decal sheets that would be relevant to this project:  general-purpose USN markings and flight deck stripes, flight deck numerals, and aircraft markings.

Good luck.

Youth, talent, hard work, and enthusiasm are no match for old age and treachery.

Intrepid -350 scale - help with deck and decals
Posted by AG 18 Son on Tuesday, February 27, 2007 9:40 PM

my sons gave me Academy 350 model of the Enterprise -CV 10, which I am trying to convert to the Intrepid, the carrier my dad flew a TBM off of durind Leyte Gulf - he got a hit on the big Jap Battleship

The Kit comes with markings for the Enterprise CV 10  I need CV11.

They also purchased the aftermarket wodden deck - great kids-  How do I go about painting the deck and detailing it to show stains and skid marks?
