1/700 USS Intrepid CV-11 (Dragon)
I made my Intrepid from of the parts left over from my Korean War USS Boxer CV-21 build. I used the parts from Dragon's USS Randolf CV-15 and the USS Bon Homme Richard for that build. and the left over parts are the basis of my Intrepid. The time period for my Intrepid is 1944 when she was painted in MS32/3a.
