ScaleModelAddict USS Hornet

Post by BlackSheep214 »

Boatman is building the same Hornet kit I have in my stash and adding the Doolittle Raiders on deck. Also his plan to rig lighting to the carrier.

Since I’m no longer a member there due to being banned over stupid stuff (twice :bored: ), his carrier will be all wrong with lighting. Reading Target Tokyo, the Hornet was under strict blackout conditions enroute to the Japan mainland.

If anyone is a member there, somebody let him know. :whistle:

Perhaps somebody could send him a link to watching 30 Seconds Over Tokyo… :hmm:

Turning on the lights at sea in contested or enemy waters is extremely rare.

I know the guy (Chris) from a few other forums. Lighting stuff is his 'thing' and I do know he's not too bothered about all over accuracy - so I wouldn't sweat it too much.
