Very cool work, all the scratch work you are doing to the hangar bay looks excellent, Mardis!

And on the outside the hull is really taking shape - that is quite some extensive backdating you are doing there! Looks great!
Cheers,

The Connie will be Kitty Hawk CVA-63 1961-1972. Why? Because Trumper came out with a Connie with aft rear curve sponsons. I bought a set of sponsons from Shapeways awhile back. Thinking the new Connie will be like Kitty Hawk later in her life. So if the editor would please delete my headliner CVA-64 Connie and put in CVA-64 Kitty Hawk. Thank You!

Looks great Mardis!!

Really cool work!
- did I understand you right? Are you going to build the Connie as well, from the new Trumpi kit? If so, I am certainly looking forward to follow you during that one, as well!!
Cheers,

No,Trumpeter just made the Connie with the round curve on it. So I have the curve sponsons I got from Shapeways for this model. So this will be Kitty Hawk instead. I have the J.F.K and beehive BigE to do also. Thanks for looking!

Started on the hangar bay aircraft and equipment. Maybe about 15 aircraft and a few equipment inside.
