I suspect the reason that there are no Essex class models, angled or not, is that they
just have so many anti aircraft guns.
The Yorktown class models coming out now didn't have so many as built
and the later ships don't have many guns at all.


I built the Maly Essex in 1/300 and the guns were not modeled well. I am not blaming
them it is just too difficult. Each one has to be a model in itself with probably a lot
of acid etch to make it happen.
I would love to see an Essex in 1:200 but I have little hope of it happening.
cheers Jim
