Read those first two posts. I have purchased F-35Cs fr this big boy and they are going to be on deck. Going to have CV-22s for the COD and an ASW Osprew for ASW, in addition to F/A-18E/F and E-2Ds for AEW. Will also have EA-18G Growlers for the electronic warfare.

This is going to have a 2020 oor 2022 air wing.

I have Enterprise with 1st cubic Island from Heller 1/400 ( with F-4 etc... ) a bit less big you get a model of 95 cm !

Many nice posts, tongue hanging here and i have see after for F-35C, seeing also in sellers sites they look nice but mainly great have 2 completely different type of fighters for look.... coz Hornets and Super Hornets have a design not completely but very similar, so this will change the CAW looking.
And yes recently USN say first F-35C deployment in 2021.

Thanks. You should post these comments on my Fine Scale page for the Reagan here:

The Build - Add wire for lighting, fantail, Reagan sponsons, add walls for flight deck - January 3, 2017

@bd popeye @Obi Wan Russell @Jura @Air Force Brat @SouthernSky @SamuraiBlue @Janiz @tphuang @vesicles @plawolf @Deino @Blackstone @Bernard @duncanidaho @Equation @antiterror13 @test bd

I drilled holes for the main wiring for the lighting system through the bottom of the hull and the back of the deck behind the hangar bay. I then built the fantial structure for the aft end of the ship.

Then it was time for the aft sponsons for the Reagan which were all finally added in 2013. On the aft end these accomodated a RAM Missile launcher, a ESSM Missile launcher, and a Phalynx 20mm CIWS, as well as some additional sensors. Finally, one of the accomodates a 25mm auto cannon. Three of these I got from Skyways as explained earlier, and two of them I scratch built.

I then added the forward sponsons for the self defense weaponry, both of them obtained through Skyways. On the port side it carrier another RAM missile launcher, and on the starboard side it carries another ESSM Missile launcher and another Phalynx 20mm CIWS.

These sponsons make all the difference in the world. They are distinctive to the Reagan. The ISland will be the ther distinctive measure. Here is the hull as she existists without the flight deck, but with all of the sponsons:

At this point I added the initial walls for the hangar deck. Ultimately these walls will be detailed, but I had time in this session to add the basic walls and paint them. I have not gotten some of the details or the led lighting that I ordered yet, so I though I would sto there, with those walls in place.


In the next session I will either do the hanger deck completely, except glueing the roof with the lights and the aircraft in, or I will start the ilsnad, depending on if the parts for the hanger deck come in.
