Most modelers of military ships sooner or later tackle this model. Large size of completed model (almost 4 feet long) was major inhibitor for me but my wife gave it to me for Xmas and I loved building it. Good quality with great instructions, however there is no hanger deck, one of 4 elevators is simply moulded into flight deck, no handrails are provided, and aircraft lack clear canopies and have minimal decals (no squadron art for tail). I fabricated a lighted hanger deck, used an after-market photoetch set to add missing details and used Tumperter aircraft on flight deck with original aircraft used on hanger deck where missing detail is not apparent. With added details, I was pleased with the results.
