I don't care how much wind they get over the deck; those Deuce and a Halfs will never get airborne! Very nice model, btw.

To John and the team, congrats on the prize well deserved. I'm with Leland and the rest of the guys with this: keep setting the standard. Hope to catch you round what's left of the uk convention circuit . Regards Guy T Taylors crew

When would the Wasp have had a deck cargo like that? A beautiful model!

For that matter, when would she have carried Avengers & Wildcats with the new insignia and B-25s with the old one?

See, I've always said you could sail off the edge of the ocean! And global warming is cause by flatulence.

The Wasp took part in the US occupation of Iceland in July of 1941, which involved her transporting Army aircraft there. That may be what's intended in the model. Although she was carrying P-40s and some trainers rather than B-25s. Later Wasp transported Spitfires to Malta.
