I'm doing the fantail area mostly scratch. The hangar bay bulkheads scratch also. Shapeways just me my stuff I order from them. Gregg the designer of these things is great. He's making the curve aft sponsons for my backdated Connie. Photo of the parts.

Sorry about that. I'm starting my waterline build of CVA-64 as she was in Nam. She would be added to my Tonkin Gulf series. J.F.K will be a full hull Nam build.

How much modification to do you have to do, for your conversion?

Raider, we all know you're a man of few words. But it's awfully hard to get anything out of uncaptioned photos.

So to follow, you bought 63 and it will become 64. Excuse my ignorance, is that 67 another kit or a bash of another 63 kit?

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

Youth, talent, hard work, and enthusiasm are no match for old age and treachery.
