Hi Will, I hear you there mate. The boxes can be suspiciously large! Here is my Intrepid so far and the box is only marginally bigger than the kit! Ruler for scale, there is no real hiding the size of it. If you do decide to take the plunge and tempt her ire, the decals are not great, pretty much 95% of everything you see on the deck is masked. Its the first time I had ever masked so much deck and it worked out alright - wasn't half as scary as I thought it was going to be. A few other decals needed for the kit are from SSN Modelbau. Cheers, Sean

Hi Will, The Trumpeter/Gallery Models 1/350 USS Intrepid CV-11 should fit the bill. Comes with Skyhawks. Skyraiders, Crusaders, Seasprites and other planes. I know its a little larger than you wanted but it does make up well straight out of the box. I am making it at the moment and its a lot of fun. Cheers, Sean

Thanks everyone for the information. I reckon I am going to go with an off-white base and then build up a few layers of grime and mess with a little ivory and hemp mix and then pick out the air conditioning with a stronger and darker set of dirty tones. Now I just need to fix my Iwata compressor that has only just started (yesterday) lightly blowing instead of giving me the actual amount fo air I need to push paint! Not good. Have a great day everyone. Sean Lomas

Hi, I'm making a 1/48 Greyhound and have been trying to rack my brain as to the main interior colour (sidewalls and roof), In pictures it looks a little like a hemp/cream colour. The instructions state white but that's not it. Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks, Sean Lomas
