gtb -red Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I took the J.F.K hull and flight deck and convert it into America. Lots of detail done to the hangar bay. I had a guy from Shapeways design the island for me. It turn out great. Have photos of build here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vidar_710 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Up at the angle just forward of the Cat 1 JBD, carriers have a mast with a weather vein at the top. What was unique about America's was it was painted with horizontal red and white stripes representing the flag. Tracy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vidar_710 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I don’t know if you bought the JFK before the Kitty Hawk kit came out or not. FYI the America, Constellation, and the Kitty Hawk were all the same class (Kitty Hawk class). The JFK was a stand alone class. It was originally going to be a Nuc, but congress cut funding on the hull and made it conventional. Too bad you didn’t get the Kitty Hawk kit. It would have saved ya a lot of work. 😉 Tracy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
