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 !
Where did you get the fork trucks from? Also, the hanger bay would looke great lighted. What do you think? Great job so far.
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.
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.
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.
Don't forget to make the drinking water taste like JP5.
Did some work over the weekend.
Prime the port side. Look at some corrections that need to be made. But it still looks okay.
Back dating going well.
jtilley For what it's worth - Trumpeter has just announced a 1/350 Constellation. How much difference there will be between it and the JFK kit I have no idea. The link: www.trumpeter-china.com .

It figures. It just figures! Miss Kitty is sitting on the shelf and I'm brainstorming how to find alternates for numbers/name and THIS! Oy Vay!!!
the cruve sponsons looks okay. still a long way to go.
Hi Guys, back dating going well.
Youth, talent, hard work, and enthusiasm are no match for old age and treachery.
Just google a lot of photos. Some were useless others just did help out. I just got word tonight that the cruve sponson on Connie were made. Going to order from Shapeways now. No sir I will not light this one up. Maybe J.F.K.
Really nice work!! What are you using for references?
Also looks like a prime candidate for some lighting inside that hangar bay.
