elmarriachi Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) Hello @ all. here the final pictures of my USS HORNET (CV-8) in scale 1/200 by Merit International, plus PE-parts by Tetra Model Works, wooden deck by Nautilus (blue painted) and propellers by G-Factor. More about the build you find on my website or here at the "works in progress". Later I will add some figures, but as I know there are no US Navy figures in 1/200 available yet.... Hope you like it!

Ravens Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Absolutely top class - well done. Regards, Ross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Vale Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I really enjoyed this build and it's come out beautifully. Top stuff! For figures, I'd keep an eye on NorthStar as they have some 1/200 Kriegsmarine figures in resin and they do US sailors in other scales - maybe they'll combine the two?

bootneck Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 That is an excellent kit however I am hoping, and waiting, for an Essex class - especially a long-hull so that a Vietnam era version can be built or converted. cheers Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
