You all realize, of course, the superior of these two ships is the one at the top; CVA-61!

The Sorry Sara, indeed!  

Great job as always raider. 

I'm from the government and I'm here to help.

 Raider: I,ve got a question. Did REVELL ever do the W.W. 2 carriers as seen post war/ I seem to remember a few carriers floating around,(excuse the pun), that were the typical 'Flat" bottomed kits or am I wrong?    tankerbuilder

 RAIDER -HALL I guess I spoke before I saw the rest of your posts . You could use EVERGREEN and have an awesome carrier model . Think about it . I have some ships no one makes in plastic because I used cardmodels as patterns and did them in plastic . Good luck ....tankerbuilder

While waiting for my package from Pacific Front Hobbies for BigE. I started on my Saratoga,I wanted to build her when she had all guns. But no company made 1:350 Cougars,Furys,Demons, so she will be in 1967 Nam dress. A photo.
