The Intrepid hull has the stbd deck edge elevator aft of the crane as did Tico and Hancock.
I dont know if there will be any fitup problems with bow / stern sections or hiding the athwartships seam across the flight deck. I am watching to see if Shapeways has their 10 pct off Cyber Monday sale, as in past years, before getting a couple.
CaptH, who has made these designs, advises there will be more Essex class coming. No specifics but maybe LPH's, Antietam, early 50's straight decks, etc. If you would like to see something Essex related that he has not yet posted, you should post him a message at Shapeways.

Found a guy at Shapeways who rescaled a 1/700 CVA31 island. He also rescaled the bow half and stern half if someone wants a complete Essex resin. I am inclined to buy when Shapeways has their holiday sale end of Nov? Island price is similar to Modelmonkey island circa 2018.
