Dragon USS Essex

Robert W Martel
I bought a bunch of these (6) Dragon kits last year, and lots of others, when I was on my carrier kick !
They are very nice highly detailed kits, but OOOOOH, some of the parts are VERY small! So, I wanted to see if I could even handle the many small pieces. Plus I have a PE set I might try to use some of that too. So far it seems doable, but very time consuming.
I've got it pretty much at the ready to start painting stuff stage, but it isn't quit warm & dry enough to start painting yet. So I put it aside and started another car kit too.

5/10/20 Just added some pics. Don't get why the pictures don't stay in the proper order as I upload them, but she's almost finished. And I don't have time to rearrange them. Oh well !!
