very nice, was Akagi built from a battle ship hull ?
just looks like it to me !!!!

originally to be an Amagi Class battlecruiser, before being converted to an aircraft carrier.

thanks guy's, thought the pointy end didn't look like it was a carrier

Sorry for the hiatus on this thread guys. Here are some of the USS Langley, built by the same guy. The pics wiht the blue background are from the website, rest are mine.

BEAUTIFUL! Is that the resin kit?????

 

[Airframes]

Very nice indeed ! Those aircraft following the first one are going to have problems on take off though, with that bl**dy big hole in the deck !

Just catching up with this thread so first up Andy, congratulations on your wins and secondly, many thanks for the great photos, there is some terrific stuff here.

I believe it is David - Iron Shipwrights 1/350 U.S.S. Langley CV-1 Kit# 4-102

I believe it is David - Iron Shipwrights 1/350 U.S.S. Langley CV-1 Kit# 4-102

RATS! I was afraid of that due to the $400 price tag. Well, I do have that extra kidney................

Here's the 3rd entry from the same guy - USS Gambier Bay.

 

[Gnomey]

Very nice!

 

[Airframes]

Certainly is. It shows how bl**dy small some of those carriers were !

 

[Crimea_River]

I'll say. Not much room for error landing on these.

 

[vikingBerserker]

Great job on the airplanes as well.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

A lot of hard work but what a brilliant outcome.

 

[Wayne Little]

Gambier Bay looks great.

Terry I have dug out my Bogue class Escort carrier that I started years ago, in an attempt to get it happening again...NOW that is a small carrier in 1/700 scale, sits in the palm of your hand!

 

[Crimea_River]

Last naval model, a 1/72 scale Revell U-Boat I believe:

 

[Vic Balshaw]

That looks just great and some very good photography Andy.
