Thanks everyone for your input so far. I have been busy but still working on this which has turned into a whole other project unto it's self. I had started a thread on the other group, but was rudely treated and told it was waste of time. We will continue here as I have made tremendous progress in uncovering the necessary information to create a new card model of this class in her service. I'm going to create a poll with some questions on what people would like to see in a model here and value the modeling community. Thanks and please watch for that survey.☺

OK..... looks like I'll have to post a question or two at a time.
First. What scale would you like to see the model be in? |

1;250 would be a great scale

It's strange that no publisher has offered a modern aircraft carrier.

No there isn't which is why this project is being undertaken. I'm going to cut some cardstock this weekend for the hull frame as a test. This one is being done in1/350 scale but my goal is to be able to print it out in a variety of scales.
