PvG Aussie, you have the ship's props in the wrong locations as 1 side spins clockwise & the otherside spins counter-clockwise, not the way you have it right now. also i would leave the props off til the end due to possible handling accidents while building the model. does the plating of the hull in this link https://www.navsource.org/archives/02/0206apa.jpg look like yours? model's bow at the waterline is not slim enough & hull plating overscaled compared to this link https://www.navsource.org/archives/02/020842a.jpg of the USS Hornet, sistership of the Enterprise.- 97 replies

in that link i posted for the drawings of the Guam, on the right hand side you'll see "DOWNLOAD OPTIONS" & in that "DOWNLOAD OPTIONS" you'll see "SHOW ALL", when you click on "SHOW ALL", you'll see 15 files, forget the "cover photo" unless you want to download it but see if can download individually the other "jpg's". post results.

your picture is in May wereas the video i linked was during the Midway battle so plenty of time to paint the red meatball white. i think you can see white painted centers but not certain because of the video quality.

even tho it is a different ship, the Yorktown was the lead ship of the class that the Enterprise & Hornet was part of. CV-5 USS Yorktown Booklet of General Plans (1940) https://archive.org/details/cv5bogp1940 https://www.navsource.org/archives/02/06.htm http://www.cv6.org/ship/big_e.htm

yvesvidal, i think it is required by law to have enough life boats for entire crew & passengers so as not repeat what happened to the crew & passengers of the Titanic.

to pin the 20mm mounts into instead of using double sided tape to hold the mounts in place for painting. could also use plastercine to do the same thing.

if you were on the real ship, you would have to be on your hands & knees to barely feel the grooves between the planks. have you ever been on a wood hull/deck of a cabin cruiser & felt any grooves between the deck /hull planks. also at 1/350 scale, you would not feel or see the grooves unless way over scaled. put the props on near the end as less chance of breakage due to handling.

so i presume the kit's instructions did not tell you where to locate those paravanes, correct?
-
why are your 2 forecastle deck paravanes laying on the deck instead of stacked vertically against the forward bulkhead? the CV-17 USS Bunker Hill Booklet of General Plans 1946 shows them stacked vertically against the forward bulkhead.

could also be some of the Early Essex class ships as some of them had hanger deck catapults til removed later in the war. USS Yorktown (CV-10) 2 H4B hydraulic catapults (1 flight deck, 1 hangar deck) https://www.navsource.org/archives/02/10.htm

find out first which part of the model's hull matches the width in the body plan drawing so that you have a base point from which to add or subtract plastic to/from the hull. have you had a chance to look at the link that has the 1940's plans of the Yorktown? right now when looking at the upside down model where the bottom at amidships joins to the sides, it does not look right shapewise for an aircraft carrier but that of a tanker. look at the red circles in the attachment & compare it to the drawings.

Patrick, how many pages are your Floating Drydock Plans? are you going to put the armor belt on the hull as i don't see it? i don't you need to cut the hull but maybe pull in the sides part way up the hull when looking at your body plan drawing. how thick are the kit's sprues as could be used to help pull the sides in? what does the bottom of the bow look like?

i am seeing something like a docking keel just above the water to the left of the hole.
