You have recreated this fabulously
Thank you so much Stick! You don't know what pleasure it is to read your words. Knowing your knowledge of the Pacific war and it's war material and campaigns justify my hours of research and trying to get everything just right. From way the ship looked in Dec 41, the AA guns that needed modification, why some portholes were open while others were closed, even during general quarters to the unfinished aircraft and crew.
Like I said in the post above, I still have much to do but the ship itself is done!
Lyle, John, Floki, Tom and Johnny, thank you as well. You have all been just great with the encouragement.
More pics once I figure out the stack smoke.
