S!

As a brainstorm for the next instalment of the wonderful ship mods, perhaps they might like to have a look at the Italian Aircraft Carrier, the Aquila. I know you guys are busy, but I figured this might be something you guys might be interested in. I myself didnt even know of this nice looking ship, till castalde at M4T discovered it ( http://www.mission4today.com/index.php? ... 5718#25718 - nice find btw), so I figured I'd at least bring it to the attention of you Ship guru's

Here's the Wiki Link:

And here's some pictures of the ship:











and the aircraft - perhaps a nice addition to the 109T & Ju-87E/T



Oh and just for interests sake, here's a tri-motor concept designed for use off the Aquila:

Macchi-Castoldi MC-605--This is an Italian tri-motored carrier plane (!!). Also tri-tailed. this kit took SIX different kits to make. I needed three MC-205's just for the three engines. The main body is a Bf-110 with Me-410 cockpit and rear-firing guns. A 1/144 (1/200?) Constellation kit furnished the triple tails. The wings folded with dollhouse door hinges. The camo/markings are for the Aquila in the Pacific after its surrender. The Italians were the first put the red line through the stars-and-bars (green replacing blue) to dress it up, and it caught on as the standard post-war marking.

I cannot find a coloured image of her ATM, but as the pictures shown, it seems to be unpainted anyway, so perhaps another excelent rendition like your Graf Zeppelin perhaps?
