Here's the complete battle group viewed from the starboard side.

Here is USS Essex CV-9 painted up and also the Wizards original.

USS Essex Repaint

You will note that I kept the original flight deck as I really hate re-lining these things, especially on a long flight deck like this!

Next up, USS Yorktown CV-10. Okay this was kind of a mistake, I was thinking one of our team cards was the Yorktown and after I got done I realized the cards were for Hornet and Bunker Hill! I used an extra Intrepid for this model. I did paint the flight deck lines on this one and although it turned out okay, it was extremely tedious.

I preserved flight deck on this one too. I really love this camo scheme. I'll be posting these on my gallery with profile views too.

Thanks for the kind comments guys. For "part 2" I'll work up the Hornet and the Bunker Hill. It will be a while tho as I need to order them first! In the mean time I've got a few other US units to put the finishing touches on and then I'll switch to the Japanese for a while.
