I was very happy to hear about it from you too BB.

Gave these FAA aircraft some teeth.

Might also be some carriers sunk if these were sent to the Pacific to face the Kamikazes. I fear the broomsticks wont`t be enough to save these or any possuible follow-ups without armored decks.
I dare say by the time they would have been re-equiped with Avengers, Hellcats etc by that time.
Krakatoa great job on the drawing and she is a very plausible design. Do the portside too Nigel and also a post refit late war version, mabe a sister ship, with the lend lease aircraft. :geek:

As noted by Bombhead I now have done both port and starboard views as well as the overheads.

I have added a 1944 version with enhanced AA numbers and the new US aircraft aboard.

Is it just me or are you missing the 40mm behind the island on the side views on the later one ?

Thanks JSB - fixed (that quad should only be on the later version).
