    Wow. Thanks for sharing.

    My campaign (featuring the Hornet) languishes in the basement, but I dusted off the paperwork earlier this week, and I do have a few hours to myself tonight....it might be a CAP night.

    Fantastic!

    The second 1/700 kit I ever built, and I still wargame with her (2 years ago, anyway).

    Very short service life, but an absolutely vital contributor to the turning of the tide in the Pacific war.
