Matt, thanks for the updates. I have the GoldMedal Etch sheets but never saw the crew. Thanks for pointing that out. I have acquired the Hornet and was lucky enuff to win a Renwal Lexington on ebay. I don't know if all the parts are there but it will assist me in figuring out the bow shapes along with your excellent posts. Finally yes I was planning to place the F-4's on the Forrestal. I have been acquiring Revell Lexingtons for that purpose.
thanks much
