But then again, I suspect you already knew what I meant.

Cleveland has only one catapult, I guess it was removed to compensate for the additional aa guns? Previous Message
Other than the Cleveland being in 1945 fit and Houston in 1944 fit which I am assuming is “as built” what are the differences between the two kits? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
