Where did you get the USS Ranger model?  Is it also 1/350?  Scratch built paper?  Served on the "Ranger Boat" in Vietnam (yes the guy in the Lone Ranger suit did ride the plastic horse out on deck every time we came alongside another ship and came into port!!!) and have been trying to find a model of her.  Have the "Picture Series" 1/542 Revell but want a bigger version.  I have the FlyModel paper of the Saratoga at 1/200 but haven't gotten around to it yet.  Do you have plans at 1/350 you are following?  Also there is the problem of aircraft and these scales.  What are you doing about them?  You can email me at cdmaia@fmtc.net

You are doing a great job, raider. Just in case you didn't know, The 5" guns were always pointing aft except when they were in use.

lesson,do not leave out your models so a 1yr. old can get to it. hangerdeck will have to be rebuild. stern and aft starboard side area fitted with p.e.

Top Gun, Bar None!

That was the brand on Trigger's butt. The Lone Ranger would ride this full sized plastic horse mounted on top of a flight deck tow tractor whenever we returned from a deployment.
