Mail call, USS JFK on the front porch today!

[kap64]

This was on my front porch this morning and yes, it's about 2/3 the length of my couch!

Nice! Are you going to join in the Naval GB?

[kap64]

I'd like too, but my kit building is on hiatus for now, I work in a different state from where my house and kits are located. It would literally take me a year to build a major kit like this.

GB entry of just the island???

Nice! How is the detailing of it? Never heard of Merit, they give you lots of

Tomcats and Intruders? Makes me want to dig out my stalled 1/700 Lexington and

do some work, naaaah too many projects to finish up first. Does it have full hull

and waterline options? You can always get rid of the couch or get a display case

and downsize the couch to a love seat! ---John

Here are some sprue shots. Detail is good, not too oversized. I like the clear windows and aircraft. I'd like to see a waterline option and more aircraft. It comes with 4ea F-14, 4ea F-18C, 4ea EA-6b, 2ea E-2, 2ea SH-60, and 2ea S-3. Some aircraft have 15-16 parts. Weird thing, they have drop tanks, but no weapons. I think they may be the same ones made by Trumpeter, except in clear. There is a hangar deck, but no walls or other interior details, so you will have to scratch build or close the doors. It could use more photo etch.

Nice, like the clear aircraft. Mine I will paint the cockpit area interior green then blue gray

so the interior will show up through the cockpit canopies. My aircraft are WWII.---John

Nice detail...   very nice kit,  though Trumpeter style plastic.
