Still if anyone in the UK wants a Yorktown kit with lots of glorious Dragon aircraft....

Some small bonus PE parts for Essex variation. Tracy White adviced today for these.

Now Digging 1/700 series too.
Our aim is to release 3 detail up sets of 1/700 per month in near future.
Please keep your eyes on.

Thank you

Hi Kim,

When do you plan to release the set for "Long Hull" Essex Class Carriers? I have Trumpeter's Ticonderoga CV-14 and am waiting for your set before I start. Please tell me you will be releasing it soon.

Best regards,

Jack

There may be some lack of details as safety rails around each Elevator, some ladders on some walls, searchlights, doors, windows jack stays and so on. We may missed or had limit in room or other reasons.
But I think these are easy addtion parts for finishing by modelers.
Anyway today fomally released the first Essex class Detail up set, CV-10 Yorktown Detail up set.

4 months projects come to end.

Thank you
Kim

We've just started Modern Iowa class Detail up set based on Tamiya 1/350 New Jersey.
I think this project may be finished by july.
After this, we start to draw Bismarck and Tirpitz...

Thank you

Beautiful. Any word on the 1/350 Prince of Wales set?

Mighty Essex class! Was it in this configuration during the Korean "revolution" operations? It was four of the class deployed in the area.
Interesting which one was used for a bomb attack on Soviet Union 20th of October 1950? (Sukhaya Rechka in Siberia was obliterated with 103 airplane destroyed).

We've researched only for by 1944 or 1945 version.
For after WWII, I think there may be some or much modification points from this 1944 version.
