Details Plans for the Contruction of the U.S.S. Midway

Today I have started work on the ARII 1/800 scale U.S.S. Midway aircraft carrier. This model will be the first one that I will apply major scratch building to it.

For this project I plan to do the following:

• Open up the elevator doors so that a detailed hanger will be viewable.
• Ceiling piping will be added
  
• Details to the interior walls
• Interior elevators
  
• Add real cables for the arresting cables on the landing pad.
• Raise the jet blast deflectors.
• Add the doghouse to the island (the doghouse is an extension of the island).
• Fold wings of some of the aircrafts which are not in use.

I have purchased several "Gold Medal Models" items to add extra detail including:

• Photo etch Naval Figures (set of 100)
  
• U.S.N. Supercarrier Decals
• U.S.N. Supercarriers photo etch parts
