Hi, About 40 years ago I've built the Revell USS Hornet +3. In the age of the Apollo project this was an fun kit to build with the Apollo capsule and Sea King helicopters. Today those old memorys and the 50 years that has gone since the moon landing made me want to build that kit again. But nowdays I knew norr about the Revell kits and the fact that the Hornet kit originated from the USS Essex kit. During those years that kit has been reissues with new parts several times. Now I wonder what those new parts consisted of and if there is spare aircrafts to get to those Revell USS Essex / Hornet kits. Which aircraft types could one find in the box? Cheers / André https://www.scalemates.com/kits/revell-h353-uss-essex-cva-9--237725

I'm looking for plans or diagrams for an Essex class hull as I want to build a base model before modifying for SC-27 etc. I'd like to get the hull form/contours right first. I have the books USS Intrepid (AoTS series) and US Aircraft Carriers (S. Terzibaschitsch) but neither give the full hull dimensions from bow all the way to the stern. I am trying to identify the dimensions at the various frames (cross-sections). Does anyone have anything like that (see example images below), where I can get that info please? cheers Mike similar example of what I'm looking for
