Should be receiving Trumpeter's 1/200 CV-5 USS Yorktown soon. Wondering if the Pontos set for Enterprise would be mostly appropriate? I know there are some differences, but thinking the pre 1942 set with the natural wood deck would be close enough.

 

Thoughts?

I may have responded to quickly, after checking several sources including Ebay, I'm finding little to nothing specific to the Yorktown. I believe the Yorktown, Enterprise and Hornet are quite similar, but whether or not the parts are enterchangable is the question. Either way, you can build it without all that extra stuff. I do envy you though, there's nothing like getting a Trumpeter kit in the mail. If you are like me, I propped the Trumpeter 1/200 USS Missouri in the corner once I received it and looked at the box for weeks before I even cracked open the box.

 

I hope someone else will jump in with more information on the Yorktown kit I believe it to be pretty new on the market.

I have that Yorktown kit and have never been able to find aftermarket stuff for her.
