Finally, here are the CVN-73 George Washington pics. This is a conversion (warts 'n' all) from the Trumpeter Nimitz. All the additional sponsors etc were scratch built from plastic/brass using pictures as a rough guide.PE was used from GMM and WEM as well as GMM decals for the ship herself and also the Lo-viz East coast airwing decals which have many similarities to the CVW-17 onboard the GW during 2002. I still need to add the various atenna around the deck but i will rebuild these using brass rods when time allows. Of course i have a list of additions and improvements as long as my arm but i will put this build 'to bed' and move onto the next!!
