[MorgenergyModels]

It's one of those Trumpeter kits that's been in the catalogue for yonks - nice to it finally materializing.

At long last! Now maybe the Ranger will come out next. I will also get the 42 fit if and when it comes out

Very Fire announces an "upgraded re-release" of their 1/350 USS Atlanta CL-51: https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php? ... 2095850221

The previous release is currently sold under the Aotori Bunka brand. Not sure what the differences are.

Can I get a 1/350 FDR in NAM version. I know they have 1/700. But my eyesight is bad at 70yrs old. By the way my birthday is on the 2nd of July.

Happy birthday!

No 1/350 angle-deck Midways yet. Fingers crossed for a Vietnam-era kit.

Orange Hobby has a 1/700 scale angle-deck Midway (1991). There are also some 1991 kits available from Chinese 3D-print vendors selling on eBay. Here's one:

How about parts to convert 1/350 Intrepid to Essex?
Long hull/short hull?

Hey I convert the JFK to the America in 1/350 3 years ago. I also did the 1/350 Kitty Hawk convert into 1968 1/350 Independence. The last one I did convert 1/350 ssc Forrestal into 1/350 1991 Ranger. My convert days are over. My fingers are not working that well. Besides my bad eyesight.

How about parts to convert 1/350 Intrepid to Essex?
Long hull/short hull?

Both were short hulls, but long/short doesn't matter when it comes to their major post-war conversions as far as I recall.

The big difference between Intrepid and Essex is the flight deck layout, specifically the location of the starboard side elevator - it's closer to the island on Essex. No aftermarket manufacturer will produce an entire flight deck, so that's a conversion you'd have to do yourself.
