USS Ticonderoga (CV-14) - May 1944
Finishing a 1994 kitbash 27 years later

I started this kit in 1994, when the only kit available was the Hasegawa, which required massive kitbashing, but stopped work when it was nearly complete. This summer I pulled it off the shelf to finish it. It's not up to current standards, but the detailing and paintwork is now consistent with my other 1/700 Essex-class ships.
