Trumpeter 1/700 USS Hornet Doolittle raid

Thanks for the complements Jim.
Yes, he’s a little to the starboard on that takeoff. I need to move him over a tad to port. Shouldn’t be too much of a problem.

Perhaps?

A small left turn after lift off so as not to be run over by the ship in the event of a ditching. They lifted off well below Vmc ( minimun control speed with one engine out and the other at takeoff power ) so if one donkey resigned closing the throttle of the remaining engine and ditching may have been the only option.

Beauty model…well done indeed.

a belated -WOW for your fine work.

Thank you Sharkbait and Duster!

I finally got a chance to move Jimmy over a tad to line up better with the photos and remove a little of the nosewheel guide stripe from the bow.

Thank you everyone who took a look and commented. I appreciate it very much.

What others have said bears repeating,just awesome work.

Thanks Tojo!
