I'm looking to add the 1/350 Midway, just waiting for a PE set for it. And the 1/700 Toms FDR or CoralSea(?) to go with my 1/700 OrangeHobby '90 Midway.
The kit I would LOVE to see someone produce(and not in a full 3D form, but I'd be happy with a real resin hull and 3D parts) is a 1/350 HMAS Perth to complete my 1/350 Java Sea Collection (already includes HOUSTON, Exeter, De Ruyter, Java, and the DD's or DD kits for conversion)… now it's just a matter of building or finishing the 2 I've started(De Ruyter 70%, Java 30%)…

That looks like some kinda chemical processing plant
We were making styrene that whole time and no one ever said anything .
I guess that's where all that extra steam was actually going and we were foolishly blaming it on the catapults .

HI Eric (OldManModeler ) im glad you like my BIG Nimtz CVN 68 carrrier as it had lots of workin features such as all the lightin up the flight deck an islands S/S an workin aircraft elevators from R/C an took 7 yrs to build an it came in two halves so i could transport it to the pond an ive still got the plans for her an would love to build another NIMITZ class carrier but cant now as too old now so she was a one off ship but i really enjoyed the build as i often look at the build as i have it on my laptop but glad you like it sir an im now lookin to build smaller ship kits but in my opinion 1/350th is just to small hence why im hopein to see some carriers in 1/200th scale as yes would be a fair size but manageble an it would save me havin to scratchbuild that massive hull which took me 2 yrs to build so thanks for your reply an nice comments on the ship
