US Essex Class Aircraft Carrier Model

dwesrist · 04-17-2008, 08:48 AM

I'm looking for a paper model of a US Essex Class aircraft carrier. Specifically the Ticonderoga "Long Hull" class and preferably the Tico itself.

My dad was stationed on the USS Ticonderoga for several years during the Vietnam war and loves to collect and display Navy items related to his work. I would love to be able to build him a paper model of his aircraft carrier to display at his place. I can always change the CV numbers on the deck and the nameplate, if I can just find an Essex class model.

It doesn't need to be a free model, this is going to be a birthday gift and I'm perfectly willing to pay for the design.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

You're not likely to find it in the Vietnam-era angled-deck configuration. The straight-deck WWII variant was published at least twice by Maly Modelarz.
