Ditto! :thumbs_up_1:

But what was that...CV-66? You're going 1:350 Nektarios? How dare you leave the sacred 1:700 scale for a carrier in 1:350! :big_grin: :heh: :jest:

Seriously though, that should be a very impressive build!

Is that set for the PitRoad release of the Trumpy kit? Wasnt it released before CVN-73 arrived to be based in Japan ?, looking on the USN News site cannot see many CAG a/c to compare with, but the set matched up well with Kitty Hawk 2007 CVW-5, The decal set seems to be larger and more complete which is a plus, also that VAW-115 CAG bird markings look nice, i may change my Kitty Hawk to a 2007/8 build.

Happy modeling
