Trumpeter 1/350 CVA-64 Connie

Well the Connie will be the Kitty Hawk CVA-63 1963-1966 Nam service. WHY? Because Trumpeter just put out the Connie with the cruve aft sponsons. I order from Shapeways the cruve sponsons from them. I had to cut and sand also made sure everything fitted just right. Now Trumpeter puts out Connie with the cruve aft sponsons. Man,I tell you. So with the decals I have as the Kitty Hawk I won't be spending money on getting decals for the Connie. I wish these companys tell us what's coming the pipeline sooner.

Thank You! I won't put 15 aircraft in the bay just enough to make it look busy. Beside you won't be able to see much when the flight deck is on.

Done with the hangar bay. The hard part is the island. Back dating a 1960's island is going to be hard. Post next week.

Where did you get the fork trucks from? Also, the hanger bay would looke great lighted. What do you think? Great job so far.

Hmmm.

   What I am doing is building other " Bird Farms " till I find an Enterprise with the " BeeHive Island  " !   I want to get her as launched .She looked so unique ! The sad part is the only one I've seen is way outside my budget ! T.B.          P.S. Speaking of unique , I now have the Heller release , Charles De Gaulle .This ship is unique too ! The island is rectangular and in the forward third of the ship !

Almost done with Wasp and get back on Kitty Hawk after Xmas!

Added more detail to the island and painted the flight deck.
