Certainly a very impressive piece of work

That is spectacular!!!

This work is outstanding!

Thanks for the compliments, guys.

Though I must say that I am a bit bummed about this model.

Unfortuneately, it may not be eligible for entry at several model contests I want to go to this year.

At least 4-5 contests have a rule stipulating that the model entry must be the "sole work" of the person entering the model. That counts me out because as I stated at the beginning of Page 1 of this thread, another modeler previously started this model, but couldn't finish it, then gave it to me as a gift to finish and keep. So if I take it to any contests, it will be "For Display Only.".

I can see why they would have that rule, but it must be frustrating.
It looks great and i'm sure that even if not a competitive entry it'll still attract a lot of attention.

That'll do very nicely.

Chicken dinner !

It's part 3 that does it for me. Seeing the stern and the hangar. But I'm still in love with the bow. Seeing the Battleship poking her nose out like that. Such a great build !

Stunning. A magnificent piece of work.

Now you just have to do the post-Korean War conversion upgrade to an angle deck and enclosed hurricane bow.
