The 1/72 WWII version at airventure is amazing.

This reminds me of the USS Hornet that we had in LSFM before hurricane IKE. We did find a few SBD's that were stored in the hangar deck. The Hornet was about the same size scale.

I remember when the Hornet model was in the area just off the giftshop, loved looking at it.

I was the one who found her in all of the debris and carnage inside the Texas Aviation Hall of Fame...It wasnt pretty! But for the most part she stayed intact.

So is there a rebuild of the ship? Can you throw down some pics of the carnage done to her? :wink:

I thought I had more pics but I guess it's just this one. I love the puking over the side.

I always have a tough time shooting it because of the glare from the case.
Loads of detail packed in there.

That's probably why I can't find any other shots.

Heck of a lot of manhours ... plus one in-scale white Porche 911.

Seriously. If you look into the forward starboard hangar/elevator opening a scale representation of the builder's Porche is sitting just inside to the left.

Kinda neat to point it out when there is a crowd around and see everyones' reactions. Especially since, unlike all the goodies built into the Close Encounters mothership on display at Udvar-Hazy, there's no mention of the car on any of the display placards.
