    Good choice, Neil.

    The IJN Zuikaku gives you the chance to continue the war on your "home carrier" after the Battle of Midway.

    Picked this one as a friend of mine gave me two very old Hasegawa carriers, the Japanese one is a Shokaku class and the US one an Essex class. So we have the Zuikaku and the Yorktown. As I was reading why the big carrier was not available for midway, I thought the squadrons would have been used in bolstering up the other carriers. So that's where that idea came from. The carriers look to be 1/1200th scale so will fit in well with my compliment of destroyers. (There are some close fits from the German and British ships to put them as US and Japanese for carrier escorts). John Robertson, a member at my home club, put forward the idea of different damage from different bombs. The bomb cards I have done are not big enough to cover everything but another idea sprang to mind from that conversation I'm in the process of testing it now. (all will be revealed soon). With a bit of luck I'll get a mission or two flown next week.

    Yep, gathering steam to fly at least 2-3 missions over next Tuesday and Wednesday. Been a bit of a dry spell at present but hopefully I'll be better to complete these as planned.
