For anybody. Based on the drawings from the floating drydock (Inaccurate) and from numerous photos, here is my drawing of the USS John Fitzgerald Kennedy CVA-67 in around 1987: https://www.deviantart.com/tzoli/art/US ... -975056379![Image](https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/08aa4d77-0718-40f2-bb4a-c61352d22946/dg4iubf-6ad2497d-b9c4-4323-aa3e-a8100d817eb9.png?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7InBhdGgiOiJcL2ZcLzA4YWE0ZDc3LTA3MTgtNDBmMi1iYjRhLWM2MTM1MmQyMjk0NlwvZGc0aXViZi02YWQyNDk3ZC1iOWM0LTQzMjMtYWEzZS1hODEwMGQ4MTdlYjkucG5nIn1dXSwiYXVkIjpbInVybjpzZXJ2aWNlOmZpbGUuZG93bmxvYWQiXX0.GBELKS1lZZypQmnb5w3N1g_VC5gYovPvN6s5v4s9FpM)

Any set out there? My commander and chief aka wife handed me a box today it was the 1/350 jfk she got it because I loved the f14 squadron in the kit the Jolly rogers. I was going to order the detail set for the kitty hawk.. but re read this section… I don’t care about the number being in photo etch just the island details… thanks

Does anyone know how many MD-3s and P-25s are assigned to a carrier? I know there is a minimum of two P-25s.

Yep, you are right! Just skimming over the plans, I believe I got more than I bargained for. These plans will be a huge benefit when it comes to building the Kennedy. I am hoping to do a good representation of her as she was in 1992-93.

I got my drawings of the Kennedy today from the Floating Drydock. They include four huge sheets, 30" x 72" showing the flight deck on one sheet, the Main Deck (which looks like the Hangar Deck) and the Second Deck on another sheet, the starboard profile on another sheet, and the portside profile and island levels on another sheet. Looks to be a great deal of useful information.

Thanks David for the pics! There are some there I have and some I don't. I also appreciate the drawings for the Saratoga. I can see that they will be very helpful as well. (to bad Bert Kinsey didn't put pics of the hangar bay in his book on the Kennedy like he did for the Enterprise)

That's what I thought. With that being said, do any of you guys know where I can find something showing all the hangar deck walls. I've found a few pictures but nothing really helps.

Hi Dave,
I have many of their plans and they generally have all the deck layouts so it should include the hanger bay.
Good Luck,
Mark

Hello, Floating drydock has Kennedy plans for a 1980 build. I would guess that the hanger bay layout stayed the same throughout the years. https://floatingdrydock.com/G.htmGood luck, Mark

Does anyone have or know where I can find a layout or plans of the hangar deck of the USS John F. Kennedy CV-67. I would like to detail the hangar deck for the 1/350 Merit kit. I have been unable to find any good pictures or information. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is a comparison of the differences between the Kitty Hawk and JFK kit hulls. They just use a different plug for the mold on the front of the bow. As posted before, the JFK hull is even stamped Kitty Hawk inside. You can see a bit of the mold line on the Kitty Hawk bow, right where the bow anchor recess is on JFK. ![Image](https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/145185/20200610_124505-1455937.jpg)

I'm getting ready to start the 1/350 Merit JFK. I want to build her in a mid '80s fit. I have the old D&S JFK book. I'm replacing the kit weapons with Voyager CWIS and NSSM. Aside from deleting the various antenna domes, are there any major changes from whats in the kit? I already plan to replace the F-18s with A-7s and A-6s, and the Seahawks with Sea Kings. And the book isn't clear, when did JFK have the black mast and lower island?

Free Time Hobbies has it listed in it's "Future Release" section. And you can place a preorder for it. But they have no price listed. I would assume the price would be around what the Trumpeter's 1/700 CV-63 & 64 was. Around the $70-$75 price range... And although the release date from Trumpeter is Sept. 2019, usually it's 2 months after that date we see it here in the US. For South America, I would guess the same.

Unfortunately, the Trumpeter 1/700 JFK will probably be waterline only. I don't know about you, but I despise waterline ship model kits.
