    Boatmans 1/200 scale USS HORNET CV8 BUILD AN LIGHTS for the Doolittle raid on japan

    also of note, is that colorized pics can be inaccurate of those pics I posted, I can't be 100% sure which if any may have been colorized. I think at least the one is definitely a true color pic, not sure about the other one for example, I know these pics here of the deck have 100% for sure...
