The Ship Model Forum

This dented shape is the flag box. You can see flag cables at the top of the picture. On the port side of the island, the flag box was mounted on the inside of the railing, that same as your picture shows.
On the port side, it was actually mounted exterior to the railing. I don't know if it still was after the '79-'83 yard period, so you might want to check.

Paul,

Thanks for clarification.
Found out that the flag box was also on the starbord side until the end.

I thought on port side it was a protection for stairs, as another modeler has done it.
Will change it soon.

still working on it.

Got the 1/350 eduard cvn-65 part5 to finish of the build

Hi Jurgen,

Any update on your CVAN-65 Island Project? I would very much like to buy one if you get it done. I am looking to combine it with the Forces of Valor CVN-65 model and back date it to the 1960's.

Thanks,

Mark

Hi Mark,

Unfortunately, there is no progress so far.
I was working on the hull and on the island for the 2001 version.

Currently there are some tanks and submarines on the workbench. So it might take a while before CAD design starts again.

Sorry for that.

Juergen

Hi Juergen,

I will be looking forward to seeing it!

Thanks,

Mark

BigE is finally done. Now working on Long Beach.

A bit of progress, but stil a very long way to go.

Collector, what scale are you doing?

This is 1/700.
Unfortunately only the Forces of Valor Enterprise is 1/700, and it's a pre assemled and painted model 2001 version.

The Island looks really good! I would like to buy one from you when you get it done. It looks like the only way to get a 1/700 scale CVAN-65 is your island + the forces of valor model.
