I don't think that it would have been any great fun trying to land a Bf 109 on a carrier deck, they had problems enough on a normal airstrip.

Looks like a nice build though. Now if someone would just do a Majestic class carrier...hint hint... :-)
 
Dang man, how much do those books weigh???? Only problem is you cant do your homework now cause your books are attempting to crush your ship ;)

This is a big project yuki.

I can't wait to see it finished.

Is this the actual scale of the original model or has it been blown up?
 
Woow, now that is a big ship.... however, I do really believe that that jet is just a tiny little out of scale to fit on it :)

As a beginner I had no idea that large papermodels could be so strong, on the other hand, the only paper models I can make are the free downloads :(
