Hello all,

I will start building my first serious ship - rookie ship builder. ( but about 200 airplanes under the belt )
Trumpeter USS Essex CV9 as apeared in '43.
I bought Eduard PE parts both sets, sailors are on the way, additional airplanes ( Hellcats, SBD and Avengers ) I have total 50+ of them now available.
plan is to have hangar deck partial opened. roof othe the hangar deck detailed, and thinking about some ( LED ) lights instaled in the hangar deck, aft elevator will be down, front up, side elevator down, at least this is the plan.
any last minutes head up, what to expect with Trumpeter kit?
comparing photos from Essex hull and the kit I saw I need to remove "bulge" on the hull of the kit. Ship in 43 did not have them ...
