I had the same issue looking for detailed pics for my 1/800 TR. The black netting follows the framing of the escape trunk. I just used a flat piece of brass from an etched parts set, cut it and bent it to shape. Then I put the square pieces for the blast shield area.
Found these- they might help get a more correct look for -65:

I'm trying to create a better LSO platform area on my TAMIYA Enterprise carrier. The below pics are of the LSO area on the Gerald Ford class carriers. But the black colored "basket" for lack of a better word is fairly common on the LSO area on US Navy carriers. How can I create this for my Enterprise carrier? Is there an aftermarket set available or not? If not, then any tips and techniques for scratch building this?

How would you model the fo'c'sle? I didn't even think a postwar carrier would have a fo'c'sle, but I guess it makes sense to still call the anchor chain handling deck that. Here's a pic of Kitty Hawk's: https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-03102 ... 17542.html


I’ve got a pretty unique opportunity with my latest build. I’m lifting the flight deck 4” off the hull with a set of linear motors. As a result the bow area will be visible. Since the anchor hause holes are just above the deck on the Trumpeter 1/350 KittyHawk i thought i’d add some interest to this area and model the focsle.
I found a few pics on that same sight. Hoping someone has some cleaner shots that really show the layout.
Here’s what i have to start with
