Hi NZmat Your CVN 65 is a magic subject , What is the scale and is it to be R/C or static ? Thanks for posting.
Dave Wooley

Hi Matt,

good luck I watch with interest.

Mark D.

the scale is 1/92 scale thanks for the comments

i forgot no its static model i am useless at r/c as i have never done it and i dont know anyone here in syndey that can teach me

Hi NZmatt I know there is TF72 in Sydney as I keep in touch but how about the local club they sail RC at any scale , I'm sure they would be helpfull?
Dave Wooley

true i have been there once but they hold meetings way out in the country which can be 2 hours drive in eaither direction.but sites like this helps and the model boat magazine which i get to.

are you sure its 1/92 , it looks more like 1/192 to me.

true gees i am stupid.i posted these photos late last night now its morning which i hate thanks for pointing it out

Which one's the table? Just kidding. Looks good so far. Nothing like a large flat top. I'm considering that as my next big project some day.

It should be a nice model matt, when you get into it a bit more Keep us up to date, nice to see Carriers on here.

thanks yes it should be a nice model when i do get into yes.just getting more info and stuff on that but well get there.much easier then my yorktown model.Which one's the table? LOL that answer is the mrs dineing table but i wont be doing any glueing or stuff she will kill me!!!!! of that is a understatement.lol will keep posting info when i get time to.

she's looking good! cant wait to see the hull finished!

Nice work so far matt

thanks will keep u guys updates i got a cold from someone i feel like @#*@ but thats life.

Very neat!

Pins galore!!

Looking good

Well all I can say its the strangest way of doing a hull, if you do not get that deck screwed down to a base soon, its going to twist , like it has already. ARH
