Kyle sent me an update on the ESSEX build earlier today.  This is what he said, “I got the port side hangar doors on the ESSEX. I also got a few side pieces in place. Tonight, I'll get a few more side pieces in.”

Thank you model crazy for the heads up. I will pay attention to those when the time comes. Outstanding work on the Hornet btw, certainly something to aspire to. Kyle

Oh good, the deck is off so he can glue the elevators fulsh prior to installing the deck. I found outabout this during my Hornet build.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Kyle just sent me an update. I started on this rear bulkhead on the Essex. It's mocked up in place I was checking the fit to make sure everything looked alright. Here’s a picture:  Tim

Hi modelcrazy, Yeup, ... thanks, I always do. I hope he does the elevators in the raised position. Tim

Well there you go! Tell Kyle nice start. The elevators may be tough to get flush to the deck unless he is planing on showing them in action.

Kyle sent me an update on the ESSEX build, and this is what he said; “made some progress on the Essex last evening. The island is mostly together not including radar and gun directors, the lower deck is installed too.”
Here are two pictures:
