    Petes HPM 1/200 USS LEXINGTON card kit

    Here's my offering for this build I have brought the laser cut frame set to save time..
    I am likely to over run knowing my history with card kits.

        And mine. Are those laser cut frames card or thin ply wood?

            I assume, like most card kits, this is pre-coloured?

            The number of 1/200 card ship kits out there is astounding!

                Peter,
                I am in, will be intrigued watching this go together, never having seen an all card model built..

                        Looking good Peter. I suppose it's all a bit wobbly at the moment but as more parts are added it will become more rigid.

                          Excellent start and progress Peter. 1/200 aircraft, that's tiny. Good thing they are already coloured ?
