I’ll go first with USS Franklin D. Roosevelt CV-42. Revell 1/540.

Surfsup, don’t you mean USS Independence CV-62 ?

3

Thanks for the pickup on the Error my Friend. I have 2 Italeri Kits in 1-720 being the Independance and the Saratoga and got them mixed up…Cheers mark

4

I will probably do either the Fujimi IJN Aircraft Carrier Hosho 1939 (1:700) or Fujimi IJN Aircraft Carrier Ryujo, First upgrade (1:700). Maybe add some generic PE (doors, ladders, etc).

They are not very good kits but I need so start somewhere and start building floatie things again and actually complete some.

And why does the FSM forum censor the word m-o-j-o ? Did I miss something?

5

Be good for me to build a ship, I haven’t done one in years and this will be a nice way to get back into them.

6

I might be interested, havent done a carrier yet. Speaking of which, are there not any 1/350 RN Carriers out there besides the Airfix kit?

7

I have the 1/350 ISW Wasp. It will be waterline.

8

It’s all Manny’s fault.

9

Mine will be the Delphis kit of MMI San Guisto in 1/700 scale.

This will be my first stab at a modern Italian ship, and my first Delphis kit.

10

Thanks Gents. I will update the Header Post to show the changes. Also who would be the best at talking to re setting up a Group Badge…Cheers Mark

11

You can use my Avatar as the group. I just change mine.

12

Thanks Buddy. Will do…Cheers Mark

13

Goodday All…I’d like in on this one with Trumpeter’s 1/700 USS Hornet CV-8. Gonna build her with the Mitchell B-25 airwing heading over for the Doolittle Raid…thanks for this Surfsup…I was looking for a home for that carrier! Cheers…[Y]

14

My pleasure Rob. You are duly added to the List of Builders…Cheers Mark

15

Sounds like a lot of fun I will build either the Tamiya’s Enterprise 1965-1970 CVN-65 of the Trumpeter’s USS wasp with Doolittle’s raiders each is scale 1:350 I just need to decide on which to build.

What will be the time for the build thoough I wanted to add a hanger deck to my build and don’t want to hold the team up I can be a bit slow when I’m crafting.

Thanks

Mike (aka) rescueranger

16

Surf, I’ll be doing the 1/400 kit of HMS illustrious by Heller

17

Guess I will jump in with the Trumpeter 1/350 Ticonderoga.

18

You have all been added. The Build is for the whole Year. If it takes longer then that should not be a problem considering how long some 350 Builds can take…Cheers mark

19

Oh that is true. A 1/350 Carrier is a real chore.

Anyone need 70’s era 1/540 USN stuff? Have some Tomcats.

Gents your thoughts please about this being our GB Badge. Cheers Mark. If anyone can design a better design then I will not be upset…Cheers mark
