In Europe, you can order the model from France:

And the decals are from Stefan Karpinski
What a great model!
When my wife and I visited the ship a few years ago I was surprised that they had no decent models of the ship for sale in their shop.
They had a clunky die cast, full hull Forrestal with '41' printed on the deck. That was a insult to the intelligence of anyone wanting a small scale model. They also had a few examples of the old Revell straight deck kit, but nothing showing the ship as is now.
I hope Eric can get the ship to stock some of these models so visitors can go away with a good model.
The big question though, is, is the model going to be available in the UK?
As mentioned in the report of our last NorCal meeting in June, Eric Goggans supplied us with models of the USS MIDWAY CV 41 as she is today as a museum ship in San Diego. Some of us have been waiting for this model for a long time, since it was pre announced many years ago but never produced by Argos.
Stefan Karpinski has created the decals for the deck as well as the island. Here are the photos of the completed model:
