USS Kearsarge, CVS-33
United States Navy
*Lindberg/Round 2 1/900 scale kit
*custom base/stand
*custom & kit decals
This kit represented the USS Shangri-LA. With custom decals, I transformed it the best I could into the Kearsarge. This was a gift to my dad, who was a Navy sailor on board the Kearsarge during the Vietnam War. This aircraft carrier was an anti-submarine ship. In addition to the model, I made the base/stand from wood purchased from Hobby Lobby (pre-routed) and custom made logo mirrors and laser-etched placard. Photo credit to the US Navy. Interestingly, based on the known time-stamp of this photo, my dad estimates he was on board the ship at the time the photo was taken.
