By the way ISW have did justice on models that bought from them.Like sending me wrong hull and giving the right one for free.

ISW have always been great with me, any problems with a part has been rectified swiftly.

not on my end. i've been building for 26 years. isw is the worst company i ever done business with. and the detail for the money is far from good. no replies to emails nothing.

Hancock gonna get one each and BigE will the rest. Have do something with those nice Starfigher 1/350 BigE decals.

What scale? I can't work with 1/700 anymore.

Maybe

I have Ranger complete 1991 had to rework some 1/600 scale fwd sponsons down to 1/720

Forrestal 1989/90, Sara 1991 and Indy 1990 are all in some stage of build, everyone has major differences,

Different funnel shapes/heights, lengths of flightdecks, sponsons, and the sterns, but its gotta be done, Oh and i hate building Hangardecks.

yeah hanger decks suck' no glory. i only build 1/700 now that i have no more room for what i love

Yeah,why in the hell do we do that. My Sara has one of my better looking hangerdecks. And it's all close up.BB,CA,DD guys don't do it.

Same with all modelers, Aircraft modelers super detail a cockpit only to close it, Auto and Military guys super detail insides and engines, its because we know its there and its got to be there, just is
