Me too! Until the Forrestal came online and the others in that class the Essex class along with the Midway class was it.......... that's why the conversion the the angle decks for the Essex class was even considered and undertaken.
I've looked at converting a Essex class model (MM) and others but finding good plans showing the hull conversion for the angle deck have escaping me............ there were two basic conversions to the angle deck. Both required major hull modifications, Island mods, addition of steam cats and new elevators, and of course flight deck mods..........
Without good plans to work from its no worth even the attempt making the changes to an existing model or even try and create a new one.............of course my limited design skills also pose a small problem.
Boy I sure miss Barry...:-(
