Hey everyone, I have been enamored with the “Lady Lex” (U.S.S. Lexington CV-16) ever since she was turned into a museum ship in 1991. Every time I go visit my grandmother I try and visit this lady of the sea. My grandmother will turn 95 this weekend, so the my wife and I are making a vacation out of it.
I got online to check pricing and noticed that they’ve started a scale model exhibit of over 370 pieces. Then I noticed they’re in need of various craft, both planes and ships. So, while there are not guarantees that I’ll make the cut, I’ve found one I want to take a crack at. I think after my last build and my current build, I’m getting decent enough to make an accurate/pleasing showing.
I’m looking at doing Hasegawa’s Nakajima’s C6n1 Myrt. Has anyone done this particular kit? If so, what are the good, bad, and uglies… Well, bottom line: is the kit a good build? I suspect, being Hesegawa, it is but you never know.
Any input at all would be appreciated. Thanks, Raymond.
Oh I am sure it’s wonderful and besides who else has ever built one?
On the other hand, beware these kinds of efforts. I’ve done a number. There’s an old fogey taste usually, in which you get made to feel you are in at the bottom.
Oh, yeah… I’m all to familiar with academia… Still… I’m going to talk with them on Monday and go from there. I don’t want anything out of the deal, other than to offer some small something or other to the many men and women who served aboard this ship, and especially to those who still walk her hallowed halls.

It’s not so much academia as club politics.
I tried to join a group building a very large diorama of the rail yards in the town where I live.
All volunteers.
But, there were a couple of guys who’d been working on it for a while and ran things. All well and good, but they knew what they wanted help with- cutting and staining thousands of railroad ties.
Kind of like when you volunteer at the pet hospital and they hand you a shovel.
Just go in with a little swagger and keep your back to the wall.
So, check six… Good to know. Thanks, Raymond
