Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

The 3rd will turn up soon.....all 3 went down in the same general area.  Hiryu might take a little longer to locate as she had moved some before being attacked.

 

Kind of fitting that they are located now with the new Midway movie coming out in a couple of weeks or so.

I'm looking forward to seeing the deck and plane pics if any aircraft survived the descent down. 

 

I imagine that the wooden decks and most of the air wings on board were destroyed in the ensuing fires and detonation of ordnance on the midday and afternoon of June 4th. But it would be fantastic if they did find any aircraft wrecks in the area on the sea floor.

Now if they find Hiryu... she looked in fairly decent condition when photographed before she sank, not having the fully fueled and armed full air wings on her decks when she was hit in the evening.

Last week, the wreck of Kaga was located on the ocean floor and photographed off of Midway.

Today, a second carrier wreck, either Soryu or Akagi was also announced to have been found.
