The kit is still causing troubles for me. Bow is awful. I fixed problem with the bulb only from the 3rd attempt (grey colour). I made the hole in the hull for anchor, also i made some other holes which are seen on the real ship.

Also i lined fore and bottom part of ship where i found the seam from molds.

I need help. Manufacturer didn't give anything for the hangar deck. :deadhorse1: Could anybody give me the dimensions of details from trumpeter's kits CV-9, CV-10, CV-13, CV-14? Scale 1/350 or 1/700

Progress

In case you haven't heard, they just found the WWII Intrepid. She's about 2,600 feet down off the California coast. Evidently she was used in two atomic tests and still refused to sink, so they took her to Ca. to study and then scuttled her where there would be no danger to the public.

Errr?

Wasn't what you just described the CVL-22 Independence?

You're right. I never could spell in navy, I studied Air Force. I sit corrected, gain.

But I did get it right, the boat is sitting on the bottom. Nice shot on your link.
