Have no idea Red. Been 35 yrs since we've heard from him. I am trying to find the "History book" my mom has on it.

It would certainly be something different than most of the kits we usually see here so it would be very welcome.

I swear I've seen this pic somewhere before, But judging from the pic I'm guessing it's a foreign navy? Almost looks like a non-angled flattop with modern deck lines. Spanish navy?
Just a guess.

Not Foreign

Depends on which side of the Pond yer on...

CVS-18 or CVS-12. That's a Essex deck.

Damn, gotta study up on the pre-supercarrier carriers

Definitely late '50s early '60s Essex-class carrier. Which one, I really can't say.

Keep guessing guys, at this rate i may have finished her by the time you get it

I may give a clue or two laters

Ok Fun over Mark got it

USS Lake Champlain CVS-39, SCB-27A never underwent the 125 conversion, as far as i am aware, she was the only one to have the Angled deck markings on an Axial deck.

Happy modeling

I answered it on another post so I will provide a hint.

All of the other modified Essex Class did not get S-2s before they got Angled decks.
