Battle of Coral Sea Yorktown CV-5

Fantastic news Greg. With the now livable conditions the calmed mind will be exercised with simple Ikea construction to ease you back into the highly complicated carrier you have introduced us to. When that happens we'll do a potluck and BYOC(bring your own chair) to the construction site. :smiling2:

Cheers,
Richard aka Wabble

Well Greg it sounds as if things are improving. It was about time you had some good fortune. Looking forward to more of the Yorktown build.

Just spent some time rereading this from page 1, talk about a labour of love and skill .
I'm not surprised that the Committee has already awarded you 2 DOGS, no doubt there will be another at the finish !

Hope this will be in a museum at some point as it deserves to be seen by many .

Dear all..
Here is today's update..well l added more details on wall A and after checking again and again and asking on navy forum l decided to modify the hangar wall and make the slope bulkhead air tight (it's nominated in the official carrier plans) you can barely see it in ONE picture during the battle of Midway...
Enjoy

Beautiful work Greg and tireless research - that’s what great models are made of. This will be special.
