On the Double Build Road Again …

This time it’s a 1944 and 1969 USS Hornet (CV/CVS-12).  The former is pretty much an out of the box Dragon Essex (CV-9), which approximates Hornet’s wartime appearance better than their Hornet does, actually. 

The latter is a heavily kitbashed Trumpeter Ticonderoga (CV-14).  At this point we’ve got the major hull and stern alterations done and new flight deck installed, and about half the gallery deck.  It’s looking much more serious with the brand-new Model Monkey island.

I can already tell I messed up by adding the waterline plate – it doubles the problem of a kit that already had the ship a good six scale feet too far out of the water.  But it might be able to sand it down – and a thick boot topping stripe never killed anybody.  It also has me thinking about a water based – for a waterline model.  That might be fun …
