Hi, McHale!

Airbob had been working on a model of Enterprise, which I believe is a sister ship to Hornet; check out his build in this thread:

Model of USS Enterprise CV-6?

I don't think he finished it, though, but maybe he can be convinced to release it and perhaps, in addition, you can figure out how to use it for a model of Hornet.

Let me know how this works out!

Cheers!
Jim

Well, then, you should have specified that from the beginning....

If that is the ESSEX class, there are a few models of that out there, you might be able to work with....such as MM 10-11-12 2004.

Cheers!
Jim

Yep, see here:
JSC 1/400 USS Intrepid CV-11

Is that helpful, mchale?

Cheers!

Some European publisher did have a hurricane-bow Essex conversion at some point; not sure of it's quality.

There's always the venerable old Revell kit, in it's many and varied boxings.
