An this is my friend's Richard '
USS IWO JIMA an he's still building it regards the eletroincs as he' got a new idea on the workin aircraft elvators like I had on my USS NIMITZ
AN he made the model is a bit under 1/144 scale so he could get the model in his car in one bit as no hull joint in this model its about 5ft long

AN he' been building this model about 3 to 4 yrs so far as he started this just when I nearly finshed my NIMITZ an I think him lookin at my carrier rubbed off on him to have a go at this one its all fully workin R/C with several workin feautures on it an here its opening it arft bay doors to allow landing craft an such to enter the ship

An closed up again I think he is goin to make it so that the ship will tilt down at the stern to allow the bay to flood an then pump the water out again to realine the ship level
