Yorktown Class Aircraft Carriers

Well, I've finally gotten the Yorktown class done. The carriers are taking me a bit longer than I expected. The building of a carrier drawing is a bit different than the other ships. On battleships and cruisers you just start with the hull and build up. With the carriers you kind of build up and then add details as you go back down.

Next up is the Wasp. I have only photos of the port side, so some of the details will be more of a estimate. Not quite as accurate as I'd like.

F6F Hellcat Fighter

Here's the Hellcat for 1943 and 44-45.

TBF Avenger Torpedo Bomber

This is the Avenger in paint schemes for 1942, 43 and 44-45. When GM took over production of the Avenger the designation changed from TBF to TBM.

USS Ranger

Here's the USS Ranger. I decided to put the aircraft in the hangers instead of on deck. I'm of the opinion that it might look better. I think it adds a little more detail to the hull.
