Those are really nice! Icing on the cake for any supercarrier model, I'd think.
Does anybody have an extra Captain's Gig like the one in the Trumpeter/Skywave Iowa class kits? I would assume not, since the kits only come with one each, and most folks will place them on their models.

Re: Postwar navy in 1/700.
Thanks guys!
Award winning? Think so?
The local IPMS is having a Model of the Year contest next week. I'm bringing my Iowa, but a tank or aircraft will most likely win. I just like to share and let others enjoy. I think we all love seeing others' models in person.
Here are the scratch built aft stack antennas.................One more antenna goes on the aviation shack.

Re: Postwar navy in 1/700.
Carl, take your ship. You'll at least draw attention, with the insanity and detail you've put into that.
Snap me a pic of that Mk5 boat you've got, I'd Love to see it... I'm considering PTDockyard, but I'm not sure if that price is one or a set, I didn't notice. It's a promising idea though.
