Don't know if its still there, but their used to be on the 2nd floor south wing of the National Air and Space Museum, Washington DC, the USS Forestal? or perhaps Nimitz? in 1/100th scale with scratch built A-6s, A-7s and Tomcats if I'm not mistaken. I stared for hours at this beauty. He had even done the hanger deck inside with partially disassembled aircraft undergoing maintenance. A scratch built EA-6 was catching the 3 wire.

Most impressive.
