1/72 Aircraft carrier on ARC

Hi, has anyone else seen the 1/72 carriers on ARC, they look ace.
Do we have enough room do to a mini carrier for the Nats ?, as a display for the navy aircraft we are doing.

Cool idea. The whildest example I've seen of something like that was the Shearwater Aviation Museum. They have a 1/48 scale model of the HMCS Bonaventure. It was originally built as a float for Natal Day parades, but a builder there detailed it and added a bunch of Testors Banshees and stuff. Very neat!

Hey, fun stuff! Sure beats out my 1/700 battlegroup. I'd love to build an LHA in 1/72 someday, with all the birds and armor and LCACs, but space is at a premium, and time doubly so.

Great model. I'm actually toying with idea of a shelve mock up of a carrier for all of my RCN stuff. "Buccaneers on the Bonnie"

Thankks for sharing the pic and idea

Bragging time! If you ogled that Fairey Swordfish they have then know this; My father is the person who got that engine back to flying condition! ^_^
