| A Place to put your 1/72 Warbird! Caught this model in a recent Model mag and was amazed! USS Sangamon (ACV-26/CVE-26) Special Feature 28 1/72 aircraft! 437 crew! 9' 4" long! 5+ years! AMAZING!!!! I love how he did the water effect!

 | Yeah, I've seen pictures of that before. Amazing! ALL of it is scratchbuilt, even the planes, if I remember correctly.

| Bleedin' Nora!! Absolutely stunning! Years ago, when the Royal Navy were still using F4 Phantoms, they had a touring display with a 1/72nd scale carrier and Phantoms, but it was only the flight deck and 'Island'. I thought that was impressive, but this model is just overwhelming - fantastic stuff!

| I don't think the aircraft are scratchbuilt Cory, the Hellcats appear to be the Italeri kit (now released by Revell). Great work though!!!!! |

 | Fantastic piece of work. The water effect is excellent as is the rest of it.

| Accordong to the mag I have.... The Hellcats are Italeri with resin cast parts for the wing-fold mechanisms. The Avengers are Academy. The 437 figures are Hecker&Goros, Preiser, Airfix/Heller, Revell and Mack Brown - 80% cut to custom poses. He taught himself how to photoetch. and he's still married!
