So what?s the matter with the group build? Will it ever come to an end? I for my part have finished my work long long time ago.

Apparently Air Goup 1 that came aboard later and used SB2Cs in the Marianas campaign (June 11 to July 28 1944). By then (sometime prior to May 44') however Yorktown was in Camo 33-10a. I believe Yorktown also carried a red stripe through the #1 elevator foward during her early deck painting configuration. It may be on your deck but I could not make it out in the photos. Again she looks gorgeous and I always appreciate seeing Yorktown done so well.keith hufnagel
Keith, Thank you for taking the time to look at and comment on my Yorktown. Most of the carriers in my collection are all blue, blue hulls and blue decks so I wanted to do something a little different. I decided to do an early Yorktown in her shakedown, "Wing and a Prayer" and early "The Fighting Lady" movies theme before she left for the Pacific and the war zone. I used the SB2Cs for that time period. I painted her blue with a weathered wood deck. The red stripe is hard to see but it is on the flight deck and does run past the forward elevator. I had thought that it was yellow, grey or white until I got "The Fighting Lady" DVD and saw that it was red. Thanks again Keith for your kind comments and by the way, your stunning Yorktown build is truly remarkable.
