this is getting more and more impressive
Thank You! Just wanted to see what the island would look like on board from the rear.
How did you form the hanger deck? I have the kit but struggling with how to create. I'm thinking about heavy card stock, cut - fit, trim - fit, etc. Beautiful job!
Did not like the kit horns so I made new ones. Hull is done just needs small things and a heavy wash. Hangar Bay deck needs decals and also the bulkheads.Start on the airwing and equipment this weekend.
Progress on a large project such as this one always takes a lot of time. From what I see you're doing marvelous building here.
On a light note, I noticed that in your post back in October your little tug really gets around! . What kit are you going to use for the tug or is it scratch built? I used a nice little kit back when I did a Liberty Ship for a friend of mine. See here:

Twenty years difference though. I wonder what tug kits are available in 1/350 for your carrier?

Post photos tomorrow!
Always liked this version of the Enterprise. I remember Monogram came out with a model of it way back when the ship was new.
That's a lot of work, keep it up, it looks good so far.
What are you going to do about its defensive weapons? There had to be changes during the modifications to its current look.
For a ship like that it sure doesn't seem like much of a defense. I take it the rest of the ships in her group were more heavilly armed.

Yes the escorts provided some defense,but her primary defense was her air group
Distance to the horizon from a 65' observation altittude is only about 10 miles. Perhaps 25 miles for high-altitude aircraft.
600 mph Air-to-surface missile covers 10 miles per minute; two minutes to identify, target, and launch interception missiles is not exactly generous. Whhich is also why your SAM have to be abel to get up to around 1200 mph to be effective.
Carrier airborne early warning can reach out around 300 miles with little effort, which give plenty of time to sortie aircraft with much longer ranges, or send the CAP over to investigate. Which neatly fits the 25-35 mile circle the Carrier Battle Group is in, too.
This is a very nice build Raider.
