I am going to dive in with a carrier build. I am using the Revell 1/542 USS Forrestal kit with Starfighter decals for the USS Ranger.
I like to build subjects with a personal link and the link with this build is that this is the first US carrier I had seen. I was on my first holiday to Hawaii and while laying on the beach at Waikiki in mid 1992 I saw an aircraft carrier steaming out of Pearl Harbour. I found out later it was USS Ranger. Not long after she was retired from service.
I am not familiar with ship builds so this will be interesting. I am aware some mods are required and I may attempt them.
Pictures of kit and decals to follow.
