Nice work Red! I will be doing a very similar conversion as my next big project once my mojo is completely back.

Thanks Ryan, my mojo came back about two weeks ago. Was looking back on my photos with the all gun Forrestal Class,Kitty Hawk Class and of course BigE with her beehive. Almost done with Wasp so the rest of the builds should be getting under way.

Looking very nice. I haven't touched my Kitty Hawk in a couple weeks. You just inspired me to continue.

A lot of Evergreen plastic sheets. But now Greg of Bacon Fist has the complete hangar bulkheads and it look great.
