If anyone is interested but not following along on the build thread, the first one is done. I got the Hellcat finished up last weekend and the Avenger will be done in a few days. After looking at the pictures I decided I need to dirty up the panel lines a bit again before I ship it out to Mark.

Incredible work Greg. Dad would have been so happy to see this. Kick myself in the *ss for not thinking of doing this a few years ago while he was still with us. Your craftsmanship will be very proudly displayed onboard the USS Hornet. Thx again Mark |

Thanks guys! I got the Helldiver finished up early last week.      I should have them boxed up and on their way west by the end of the week. I want to thank Mark and Tim H for allowing me to be part of such a cool project! Hopefully one or both of them will post some pictures of the whole exhibit here once it opens. |

Shaking my head going "Wow!!!!" unbelievable work Greg. Tim and I couldn't be more happy and you certainly can count on a full report in November. We shall chat about all this sooner than later Greg.  Mark |

Best I be clearer with this statement. I don't mean Greg should take a week to complete. He will complete each model when he completes them, no hurry at all as he has a life to live as well. When he's done, it will be done. Here's the idea for planes and schemes:  VF-11 Hellcat (Solid Navy Blue)  VB-11 Helldiver (Three tone scheme)  VT-11 Avenger (Three tone scheme)  CAG-11 USS Hornet Nice pictures here, in the first one, the deck hand walking by in the back ground must be related to Jack Cook... |

I believe "the Inspector" referred to that as wearing his "Boeing gloves"  Real nice models BTW. Cool project and tribute. Andy Scott |

For anybody still following along, we're now going to do a Wildcat, Avenger and Dauntless representing CVG-11's time on Guadalcanal. I'll be starting on the next round in the next week. |
